Macro and Flora IOTW 12/19/08 Ed Vatza

Congratulations Ed Vatza
And now for the rest of the flower (Alstromemeria)


After doing 1:1 Macro on this flower (see Patterns), I backed out to make a full flower image. To borrow the title of another post - "a more conventional image". Now you can see where the macro came from.

Same set up as for "Patterns" - Canon 30D; Sigma 70mm Macro lens; Remote Shutter Release; Velbon Ultra Luxis tripod; incandescent indoor lighting.

1/20 sec @ f/7/1; ISO 400; +2/3 EV; Incandescent WB

Hmmm, quite a surprise since to be totally honest, this wasn't one of my personal favorites from the past month. Matter of fact, I preferred the 1:1 macro from this same Alstroemeria series as well as many of my more recent posts. I think its because this particular image is atypical of my "style" which is better represented in those other images. Oh well, shows what I know. :D Guess there is some truth in being one's own worse critic!

Thanks. Much appreciated. Its always rewarding to know others like your work.
