Camera:Canon EOS-20D Lens:Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Location: My bedroom Date: Aug 27, 2005 Aperture: f9.0 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/1.7 seconds Galleries:Macro, Studio Date Uploaded: Aug 27, 2005
This image is straight out of the camera. No PP involved aside from crop and stroke.
I didn't even realize at the time I took this photo that there are these minute strands of fiber. I'll have to use some tweezers to take them out as they are very tiny pieces.
Shot using a macro coupler with the kit lens 18-55mm and a 50mm 1.8. This is a 50% crop of the original.
Love it! I hate to say this, but excellent sharpness. :-) I also love the color scheme - you can't go wrong with yellow, green and red. I would love to see another version of the same shot focused on the foreground points with a slightly smaller aperture - maybe f/8 or f/11. You'd still get decent bokeh, but more of the image would be in focus. Without a very specific point of focus that you're calling attention to with a shallow DOF, I usually find that it's better to go with a smaller aperture to increase sharpness throughout. Still, very nice photo, Rikki!
