Macro photograph: Post processing - Part 2 - Diyas for Diwali 2025

Happy Diwali 2025 to all of you. Diwali 2025 is round the corner too.

Alrite, moving forward in post processing. We should look into an interesting pattern - a shape within a shape within a shape. The below pictures are of clay diyas used for Diwali.

This post is all about Diya pictures for Diwali.

I used 2 lights close to 300 watts. The table had lots of lines as background.

However, the temperature looks a bit warm IMHO

So I did a couple of things :

I used a white background.

I also lowered the temperature of the photo (post-processing)

Ewww stuff: The creasy lines on the background cloth. I am gonna remove it in my next post

So we have a pattern, we have a clean background/some lines.

Some action?
