This Orchid Opti Grandi image was created on last spring’s Tulips and a Touch of Holland IPT in the Beatrix Pavilion with the Gitzo GT1542T 4-section Traveler Tripod (https://store.birdsasart.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=333), the Mongoose M3.6 head (https://store.birdsasart.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=274) on it, the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS macro lens (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/647011-USA/Canon_3554B002_EF_100mm_f_2_8L_Macro.html/BI/6633/KBID/7226/kw/CA10028LMIS/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xCA10028LMIS) and the Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital camera body (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/847545-REG/Canon_5260B002_EOS_5D_Mark_III.html/BI/6633/KBID/7226/kw/CAE5D3/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xCAE5D3). ISO 400. Evaluative metering +1 2/3 stops: 1/2 sec. at f/16 in Av mode. Color Temperature: 5000K.
Live View for mirror lock and the live RGB histogram. 2-second timer. Manual Focus. Click on the image to enjoy a larger version. Here is a tip on using the Live View RGB histogram: though it will get you in the neighborhood be sure to check for blinkies. There are times when all 3 channels (R, G, & B) seem to be well inside the right hand axis of the histogram but you still have a few flashing highlights…. In those cases you simply go 1/3 darker with the EC (Exposure Compensation).
Don't be shy: all comments welcome but for microscopic and LAB color analyses :).
