Remember the flowering tree from last week? Those buds have completely flowered out and we have a beautiful display of white puffy blooms to admire from our kitchen window. And if the weather promises to stay this nice, we'll even get outdoors to enjoy it soon. However, taking a macro picture of one of the blooms is next to impossible - the wind is always blowing and even if it wasn't, I'm not the most steady shooting over my head. So I snapped off a small twig of blooms and decided to compose in a more controlled environment - our kitchen. MUCH easier.
My two favorites:
Camera: Nikon D700
Lens: 105mm f/2.8 macro
Aperture: f/4.8
Shutter Speed: 1/250
ISO: 800
Flash: none
Exposure: manual
Camera: Nikon D700
Lens: 105mm f/2.8 macro
Aperture: f/4.8
Shutter Speed: 1/320
ISO: 1600
Flash: none
Exposure: manual
I composed the second shot in front of a window. It's definitely not something I would normally do, since there is very little distinction between the flower and the background. But it's fun to try something new, and I actually really like how it turned out.
So beautiful, I'm always amazed at your macros. And I like your method...I should probably try that. ;)
