Had a chance to visit a local garden in Vancouver this weekend and thought I would share some pics. The first day I went was pretty wet as evident in the first few pics. The rain had stop which left nice water droplets on the leafs and flowers. The 2nd day I went was very sunny and it was free that day. I got some great opportunities to take some photos of the children playing.

The Olympus 45mm f1.8 worked wondrous when I was able to get it to focus. I am not sure why but like I mentioned in another thread, sometimes it just won't focus. Had major problem focusing on the children with the busy leaf background.

I also used my Voigtlander 25mm with a ND filter. It was very fun to use!

Pics 7 & 8 are from the Voigtlander lens. All others are from the 45mm.

Lately I have been very into this look in pictures 1, 5, and 10. I start with the 300 preset which is usually provides a very dark look. I then use Brilliance Warmth from Nik Color Efex 4 to add back some color and warmth into it. That's pretty much it.... depending on pic I may add soft focus and glow to it.

Really? That's it? I don't have Nik Color Efex. Which 300 preset are you using? I think I have one from Lightroom Killer Tips, but I imagine there may be a number of 300 versions out there.
