Taken this early evening in my backyard. Lighting was pretty flat, so used an LED light panel to add a bit of light on my subject. This was my first use of it, and feel like it has some potential.
Olympus EM5 60mm macro f/11 1/50s ISO 1600 Hand held, left hand resting on a rock in the water to get lower
Post: 5% crop to level. Clean up a few specular highlights, noise reduction on background, selective sharpening
I have been looking at those light panels and wondered if they were any good. Well I certainly like this lighting! Colours and details excellent and I like the angle from which it is taken. I think DOF is optimal too - very pleasing shot.
