Triptych 2025 - the making of a Amaryllis the winner.

Firstly, I took a series of images of a “past its best” amaryllis flower using 2

mains LED lights shone on a white wall (background) and using a

further battery LED to light the flower. The small LED allows me to

change the colour of light on the flower. The camera was on a tripod to

ensure that each image had identical placing of the flower

I selected 3 images in Lightroom and processed them ensuring that the

background was pure white. They were then exported as jpgs at

1200px by 800px.


For post processing , I opened a new document in Photoshop at 2400px by 1200px and

imported the 3 images on separate layers flipping one vertically so that

the outer images faced into the frame. Using the effects option in

layers, I selected one image and created a 25px black inside stroke. I

then copied the effect to the other 2 images. I then selected the

complete image and added an inside stroke of 50px.


Equipment used;


Camera - Canon R5

Lens - Canon RF100mm 2.8 L Macro IS USM

Exposure - 1/50sec @F8 a

All shot in RAW format
