Certainly not your average poppy shot. Very creative. Why the high ISO if you were using a tripod?

Hi Albert,
My guess is that your 1000 ISO is a typo and the image was taken at ISO 100. Nice view and lots of detail which makes this macro fun to look at.............................Jim

Yes, Albert, the details are wonderful, especially that "starburst shaped" part in the center. I agree with the others that iso 1000 and f/13, 1/30s seem unlikely unless this was in very heavy shade. If it were windy, 1/30s most likely wouldn't be sharp.

Very cool shot, Albert. Nice detail, and the bright background makes a graphically exciting image.
I understand using ISO 1000 for shots like this. I think we both shoot a lot in low light conditions because there is just not as much light in this part of the world. While your tripod eliminates camera movement, you need to keep the subject in the center to compose and focus it, with just a gentle breeze. In many cases, 1/30 sec. would be too slow with 150 mm., but if you wait for the right moment without wind, when the flower is not blowing around, but still just very slightly moving -- gently swaying from the last bit of wind, 1/30 is all you need to get the shot. I usually shoot a bunch of rapid bursts when flowers are moving just a tiny bit, and in most cases, a few of the shots will come out sharp because the shot is caught in the pauses at the ends of the arc of travel. That's taking advantage of the rapid fire shutters and big memory cards -- something we didn't have when shooting with film.

The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the composer; but when the last individual of a race of living beings breathes no more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be again. William Beebe, 1906 |

Hi Albert, that is one striking image. Lots of detail and wonderful composition with the light periphery, the star at the center and the dark circle around. The square crop works well. I like it.
