Assignment: Macro - “A Play On Red”
Note:
The saturation and contrast was boosted to get a bold crisp feel and to balance with the crystal sharp element of the water droplet…nature in harmony with here elements.
This beauty was painted with a Nikon D300, using a Nikkor 200mm f/4D IF-ED macro lens, with a stacked combination of a 36mm and 20mm extension tubes.
Image Solution:
focal length @ 200mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / in camera matrix metering / 1/125sec. - f/40 / exposure comp @ -0.3EV / ISO @ 320 / 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 @ +3 degrees / support platform - tripod assist, with macro focusing rail, and remote electronic trigger release /
Comments greatly appreciated…:cool:
