Lotus Pod
Canon 5D
180 mm Macro lens
ISO 200
1/125 sec. at f/ 29
+1/3
Manual mode w/ flash
Yes f/29!!! and a Flash!!!!!
I went to Longwood Gardens w/ Roman Kurywczak and Dave Mills. I was given some really great instruction on using a flash and I have to say I was very impressed with the results. I also stepped out of my comfort zone and used an f/29!! Thanks guys!!
I found the back and side views most interesting w/ the soft shades of green and yellow

Very dramatic with wonderful details. A little tight in the frame , but just my taste. Love lotus and like this alot.
Love the detail and the subtle mix of colors, Denise. Very dramatic with the black background. Maybe a bit more room on the left for the pod to "face" into? - a plant we don't have in northern MN.
Be careful hanging around with those guys! Great image, I am loving that black BG.
They were so MUCH FUN!! I had a great learning experience along w/ a few laughs. BTW I saw the blue water lily you photographed there-Stunning!!Originally Posted by Nick Palmieri
Incredible image, looks like it was shot in a studio. Congrats Denise. Did you HH?
Akos, Thankyou. No I was on a tripod.:) It was shot outside.
Hey Denise,
What is this world coming to??? Welcome to the other end of the f-stops:eek:! I'm glad to see you liked f29....my f4's were deletes:p! Even I may add a bit of canvas left (rare, I know!)...only because it leans in that direction....everything else is right on! Must have been those lovable teachers:D!
Denise, F29,good lighting and interesting subject! What more could one ask for? Yeah, I'll go along with Roman on a bit more room on the left but otherwise, well done!
Good for you Denise. Very nicely done. Dave
Nice, i have no clue what that is, but it's cool, love the angle also great job:)
Thankyou everyone for your comments and a special thankyou to Roman and Dave for their great tutoring!!
I agree w/ adding canvas- Thanks again!!
Denise, Very nice sharpness and composition.
Denise, I'm so jealous! You got to hang with some fun people, I'm sure! Love the lotus pod but agree a bit more room on the left would help. When I first opened the image I instantly thought of an alien with a bunch of red eyes. Maybe this will make it to the OOTB forum with a little help??? :D;):D
Jules, We would have all had more fun if you were there!!Maybe someday!!
Denise,
I guess I need to move to N.J. Can't seem to find a botanical gardens around here. Love the total stop down approach to photography. You're getting way to good at this.
Thanks for sharing....
