Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Sound II (Basic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D70
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED
Date: Jan 27, 2009
Aperture: F8
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/125
Date Uploaded: Jan 27, 2009

 - printed music notes (different sizes) on a paper
- couldn't cut small sized notes, so made the swab bigger (a straw and some cotton)
- tried different composition and dof. although it helps when you get what you want in the third try.

PP: desat, a lot of curves/contrast, a little blur for smoothness, and many many passes of USM (very little amount and small radius).

Things that might cost me points, hopefully not severely:
- we can see some white paper edges on music notes
- not enough details on the swab cotton (white on white/silver is difficult to shoot with two home-depot work lights)
- swab is not proportional to other objects in the shot
