“Miss Cindy”

I found this little girl one afternoon in my Pops’ garden. She was painted with a Nikon D200, using a Nikkor 200mm f/4 IF-ED macro lens with a Nikkor 12mm extension tube.

Image Solution:
focal length @ 200mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / in camera matrix metering / 1/250sec. - f/32 / exposure comp @ -1.3EV / ISO @ 320 / white balance @ cloudy / AF - Mode @ manual / color space @ sRGB / lighting solution - Nikon R1C1 wireless close up speedlight system; both light units set to ¼ lumen burst with a wide dispersal pattern and attached diffuser. / tone comp @ +1 degree / hue adjustment @ +2 degrees / saturation factor @ +2 degrees / support platform - monopod assist.

Comments greatly appreciated...:cool:

Interesting capture Gus. Did you do something in the PP to make it look more like a painting than a beetle? I like it, nice and close. :)
