“Color Me Poppy”
Note: Fiber optic lighting was used at different control points to light the flower from the back; in conjunction with diffuser panels to soften the light and two black shields were positioned for the shadow cast; giving this lady a silky smooth, velvet wrap texture.
This exotic beauty was painted with a Nikon D3, using a Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D IF-ED macro lens.
Image Solution:
focal length @ 60mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / in camera matrix metering / 1/60sec. - f/22 / exposure comp @ -0.7EV / ISO @ 200 / white balance @ custom profile, using an Expo disk for color calibration / AF - Mode @ manual / color space @ sRGB / lighting solution - Nikon R1C1 wireless close up speedlight system; both light units set to minimum fill flash with a wide dispersal pattern and attached diffuser. / tone comp @ +1 degree / hue adjustment @ +2 degrees / saturation factor @ +2 degrees / support platform - tripod assist, with macro focusing rail, and remote electronic trigger release /
Comments greatly appreciated...:cool:
