Morning in the garden


CHICAGO BOTANIC GARDEN, GLENCOE, ILLINOIS, SEPTEMBER 10, 2008

Pentax *ist DS
SMC Pentax-DA 18-55 at 18mm
1/500 sec. f11
ISO 400

In the original photograph, two people stood behind the woman striding from left to right, about 20 feet in the distance. It took me a couple of hours and a few failed tries, but I was able to remove those distracting figures by using the clone tool of Photoshop Elements 6.0.

Beautiful photo, Henry, and great idea for a blog. The Garden now has a Flickr page, to which I occasionally post some of my Garden photos (usually very early morning shots). You can access it from a link on the Garden's home page (bottom left(). --Gary Slack

Thanks, Gary. I am particularly proud of this photograph because it is one of my few successes at alteration with Photoshop. There were three people just behind the woman striding from left to right across the photo, and I thought they were terrible distractions. After half an hour's careful fiddling with the clone stamp tool, I managed to get rid of the distractions. If you go pixel-peeping, however, you'll probably spot the evidence.
