Moth - Macro

[BrianLS1TA]

Before:


After:


Camera: Canon PowerShot G9
Exposure: 0.002 sec (1/640)
Aperture: f/4
Focal Length: 7.4 mm
ISO Speed: 80
Exposure Bias: 0/3 EV

*I cropped the picture to get rid of some of the extra space.
**The following can be found in PS under Image - Adjustments**
*In Photoshop I played with the Exposure, Offset, and Gamma to get some of the darkness off of the moth (and introduce some). A great explaination can be found here.
*I played with the Shadows/Highlights
*Tried auto levels, auto contrast, and auto colors.
-If any of those don't look good go in manually and do them. Typically color is spot on. (This shot needed very little from these)

Exposure and Shadow/Highlight seems to by my biggest thing when I edit my photos. Hopefully that will be better as I take more accurate pictures.
