Close Up Work
I have been doing some close up work in the last couple of days and am quite please with the first result.
It is the seed pod from a Chinese lantern plant.
Here is the set up taken with my webcam................
150W Halogen lamp, Matt Black background board, black towel to stop reflected light, subject held in a watchmakers clamp. Camera on tripod. Lens; Sigma 18/200 1/5th second at f32 ISO400, Partial metering.
2 second delay using remote on shutter release to prevent camera shake.

Re: Close Up Work
Very professional. What do you plan to do with the photo? Your calender project, maybe?

Firstly I wanted to see if I could do it...............Niner wrote:Very professional. What do you plan to do with the photo? Your calender project, maybe?
Being a member of a Photographic Club here and also a Photographic Forum in the UK means that I have a need for competitive photos all the time.
I have just sent 4 entries to a Salon in Italy and I have had 9 selected for a local exhibition in June.
I am hoping to shoot some spring flowers this weekend, just waiting for them to reach their best......
It might make the 2015 Calendar, will have to see...............
