| Pearl Box |
Creative Notes I found this pearl box in a shop belonging to a friend of mine in the Old City of Jerusalem. The image was composed using the pyramid like pattern along the edge as a border. It seemed very natural to use the pattern to frame the more complex and colorful center of the box.
Technical Notes The ring flash that was used with this macro lens really got into the pearl and brought out a myriad of colors and textures. It makes the pearl seem very multifaceted when even the small scratches on the surface become visible. Very little was done to correct this image. |
