I have to admit that I have a very hard time venturing from f32 and this is no exception. I have been doing a lot of studio work....AKA.....indoors and my wife has been the beneficiary of all my purchases and I will post a few later.....but this is the end of my Columbine here in my NJ garden. I decided to try out somtething that my friend Darrell Gulin showed me......using an image.....printed on matte paper....as a BG. We had a beuatiful day in NJ a few days ago.....with lovely clouds and blue sky....so i took a picture......that is the BG for my columbine.....about 12 inches away. Canon 1D Mark lll with the Sigma 180mm macro and the MT 24 twin lights at 1/32 power in late afternoon overcast light, outdoors(too dark in the house), silver reflector, for 1/6 of a sec at f29 and ISO 800. I always manually focus and expose my macros.....just what I'm used to.
