Hydrangea in Bud
Normally I never shoot unless absolutely necessary in a ISO higher than 200… the above image was shot with an ISO of 400.. and there was some noise to the photograph. Initially I thought I might bin it, but decided to play around with some Presets I have from Serge Ramelli – Golden Age […]
