Big challenge I am finding with my banana adventure is the inability to get 'picture perfect' photos.
Invariably too much light, not enough mist one day, too much wind etc. and you either get yellow or brown patches/edges or tears and shredding.
I feel like I need to 'terrarium' the bloody things to get perfect photos.......
Any thoughts? something I can do besides retouching in photoshop?

In my opinion imperfections can be just as beautiful as perfect leaves.

Other than keeping them in a little shade and out of the wind, what else can you do?

and that's pretty much it though....
I basically have to greenhouse them (then there is a height issue) and put on automated misting to keep them in a terrarium like condition if I want perfect plant photos.
With the volume I'm building up, keeping them inside so I can get perfect plants to photograph is going to be a nightmare.
never easy is it?

Use Momoese's approach and only take closeups of the parts you like! :ha:

Get a tripod and set your canera to auto. If your camera is fairly recent then it should produce decent pics. Most of the time it is the user and not the camera. I know as I have many problems caused by me not using the camera to its best options. If you are new to cameras then study your camera and then go forward wiith your photos. The good thing is that we can now that a multitude of pics and then munipulate them to look as we want. Good luck.

Yeahhhhhh..... I probably should have been clearer when I said too much light. I meant that the plants getting too much direct sun and leaves getting burned.
Most DEFINITELY Not a camera lighting issue, I've been a professional photographer for many years.
