Highbush Blueberry

Gallery: FloraPosted April 30, 201073 views7 comments

Decided to do some macro work this evening and these highbush blueberry flowers caught my eye as they sat in the fading light. I would have preferred a solid green background, but this sets it off OK.

Nikon D300s 105mm f/2.8 VR + 1.7X TC HH
f/22
1/200
ISO 800

Full Frame, sharpened subject, noise reduction on BG

Beautiful comp and detail in great light, Luke.

Was the TC for extra working distance? I haven't even thought of doing that...

I'm impressed with the outcome as seen in this image.

Nice lighting and your subject stands out well against the neutral colored BG.
