This capture was done at the Royal Botanical Gardens of Ontario at their head-quarters in Burlington, ON. To allow a bit more light I used the BOWER RING 48 which gives a 48 LED lights to allow a bit more light, and resting my camera on my tripod to get a bit closer I used the NIKON 5 T Close up lens.

Once home, I opened in Camera-in-the-RAW where I corrected for colour balance, and then opened in Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 where i resized to 401 x 600 px, then fooled around till happy with the UNSHARP MASK and last saved as JPEG for upload to my gallery.
