5dm2, sigma 180 f3.5 macro, speedlite offcamera w/ softbox
handheld, manual focus
manual exposure, iso 200, 1/200 @ f22, external e-ttl w/ evaluative metering and ev -1/3
post-processing in lightroom: crop, some curve adjustments, slight sharpening
Struggling a bit with flash settings and for some reason, this image looks a lot better (more "brilliant" ??) on my own monitor than in the picasa web album--I haven't had that issue w/ all photos, just some of them. Not sure why (upload settings are the same). Any critique is most welcome.
