Note: This is a double exposure consisting of three frames, with a variance in the use of three aperture disks. Aperture disks of f/2.8 - f/5.6 – f/11 were used to achieve a layered depth of field, holding the same target focal point. The saturation level was kicked up a notch to compliment the title…
This exotic lady was painted with a Nikon D2x, using a Lensbaby Composer, with a +10 macro lens attachment.
Image solution: focal length about +/- 50mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / combination of in camera matrix metering and hand held spot meter, sampling four anchor points for even light distribution. / final manual insert aperture disk of f/11 used for the center of the flower / shutter speed @ 1/125sec. / ISO @ 320 / white balance @ cloudy / color space @ sRGB / AF - mode @ manual / lighting solution - used two speedlights with attached diffusers ; each @ 60 degree angles; speedlights were powered down to 1/4 lumen burst on manual mode, each one behind additional diffuser panels. / exposure comp @ -1.7EV / tone comp @ +2 degrees / hue adjustment @ +2 degrees / saturation factor @ +3 degrees / support platform - tripod assist - using macro focusing rail / electronic trigger release /
Really good focus for a Lensbaby, I guess that's why you used 3 different disks! Never thought to do that w/ the Lensbaby. Did you use Helicon Focus or just CS4?
