Beautiful antique - nicely exposed and composed. I'd like to say you satisfied the deep DoF, but.....

The day was cloudy & it was hard to get the colors/exposure I wanted. I was not pleased with or without the flash. I chose the entry with "thumbnail WOW factor"...turns out, the flash wasn't they way to go. The non-flash entry may have faired better.
Thanks for your valuable input. Please see the non-flash version and comment if you care to.




Zap228 ~ I tried a number of settings this 'non-macro' shot produced much more focus.

mffnqueen ~ the rest of the backgrounds available were worse..

scalvert ~ Mmmm... save 1 berry 4 me! I put some on the one I'm saving for you! It's ready to ship...

Jesuispeure ~ I did, see above.

labuda ... you won't die by then ~ I'm saving them for Shannon Ha Ha

Maverick ~ Yes! Well it's time that I got that slave working and rig up a bounce flash. The cameras flash was not up to the task.

judibrenstein ~ I was using both

richterrell ~ Yeah

jaimeegrl ~ was trying for both...

agrimace no flash ~ Well that seems to sum it up.

the on camera flash makes it look to much like a snap shot

To much flash. It's also out of focus just a bit so try it in macro next time
