I finally made the jump! My D7000 came in last week and my macro lens took a week longer. And now it's raining with a strong wind blowing....:2eyes2:. This Small white was taking cover in my garden. I managed to get off a few shots between two showers.
It seems like I have to start over again learning to handle this new gear. It's a big change from my <500 grams bridge setup to this >2 kg beastly combi! It's practice, practice, practice for the coming weeks.
I wish the eye and antenna top were sharper and that the antenna wasn't crossing the flower. I cloned out the tip the other OOF antenna poiting towards the camera, since it posed a distracting white blurry dot in the FG. I liked the fluffiness of the butterfly in combination with the OOF white flowers
Nikon D7000, Nikkor 200mm Micro F/4, handheld, ISO-400, F/10, 1/125 sec, man. focus.
ACR5.0/CS4, levels, clarity, sharpness, NR, selective sharpening of antenna and eye. Cloned out OOF antenna tip and added a sliver of canvas on top for composition.
