Had to keep a higher shutter speed to accommodate movement.
Canon 7D II + 180/3.5 lens
f/5.6, 1/400, ISO 800
Canon DPP4 + PS, added slight canvas to right as the sepal was too close to the edge. softening of right lower corner with healing brush. levels.
NIK tonal contrast 35% and detail extractor 30% for selected areas.
I really like this, the bold colours really contrast well. Details are good.
Did you take any at f11, you would have been around ISO 3200, I think that might have been interesting. it would be good to see how the flower head would appear.
Stacked image of Blackeyed susan (Stacked for the head)
Thanks Jonathan,
I had taken about 20 frames @ f5.6 for focus stacking mostly for the head. 8 of them were blurry due to movement, I am attaching the stacked image in Zerene Stacker. Same processing as before. With 7DII, I hadn't had much luck beyond ISO 800. as anything greater than that results in a lot of noise. I am hoping to get a 5DIV in the near future.
I prefer the un-stacked image. Again, your choice of subjects and use of soft light and color are quite excellent.
with love, artie
