Before and After

I liked the look of the leaves from a Teasel plant. The problem is the main subject is green and the background is green as well, so not enough pop in this image. It looks just okay, but I wanted a more dramatic feel.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

I thought why not add some nice striking contrast in Nik Software’s Color Efex Pro 4. I used the “Solarizaton” filter which darkened the background and intensified the plant. The background didn’t totally black out, but when I went back into Photoshop Elements, I used the contrast slider which helped to finish blacking out the background.

As a pro macro photographer, I have always wanted to create an online Macro Photo Club, and it’s finally happened.

The Macro Photo Club is a place where members will experience a new way of learning.  Members will have lots of benefits and fun.

The 1st of each month, members will have a link to 12 videos that will cover a variety of themes, plus a video newsletter.  Finding subjects in the field, how to compose them, and working the camera techs. Videos covering equipment and post processing tips will also be covered.

Members may send me one image per month, and with the entries I will choose 10 images for a video critique.

I have a facebook group set up for members to post images.  In the monthly video newsletter, I will have a macro theme for you to go out and shoot, and members can post their images of that theme on the Mike Moats Macro Photo Club site on facebook.

I will randomly choose club members to be featured macro photographers on my website blog, and all social media connections.

The Macro Photo Club has some great sponsors who are generously offering free products that I will raffle off.  Present sponsors, Tamron, Hunts Photo, Vanguard, Acratech, Topaz, Think Tank Photo, Hoodman, Datacolor, Thompson Photo Accessories, and adding more in the future.

This is just the beginning and hope to expand to more benefits as we go.

Yearly membership fee is only $39.
