“A Garden Variety”

These young ladies were painted with a Nikon D200, using a Lensbaby Composer, with a stacked combination of a +10 and a +4 macro lens attachment.

Image solution:
focal length about +/- 50mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / combination of in camera matrix metering and hand held spot meter, sampling three anchor points for even light distribution. / manual insert aperture disk of f/8 / shutter speed @ 1/125sec. / ISO @ 320 / white balance @ cloudy / color space @ sRGB / AF - mode @ manual / lighting solution - used two speedlights with attached diffusers ; each @ 60 degree angles; speedlights were powered down to 1/4 lumen burst on manual mode, each one behind additional diffuser panels. / exposure comp @ -1.0EV / tone comp @ +1 degree / hue adjustment @ +2 degrees / saturation factor @ +2 degrees / support platform - tripod assist - using macro focusing rail / electronic trigger release /

Comments greatly appreciated...:cool:

Gus, I am looking at the image, and I am looking at your photo sitting there smiling. After reading your extensive image solution, the beautiful result justifies your smile.

Just lovely!

Like the focus on the tips and the blurred BG, creates some tension and visual interest. The lensbaby looks like a lot of fun Gus!
