High Key Bud

Gallery: FloraPosted May 3, 2010278 views16 comments

First post in Flora (I think?). I am exploring high key images in camera with as much DOF as I can get! The effect is all in camera with very little post processing.
Canon 1D Mark 3 with the Sigma 180mm macro at ISO 800 and f20 for 1/60 sec. hand held with the MT 24 twin lights at +1&2/3 manually focused. BG is a pale sky.

Beautiful high-key sharp focus image Roman. I like the interest that the bud has.

Beautifully done. Lots of great detail in the bud, and the high key background is very effective for bringing attention to the subject.

Love the details and colors! This is a prize! The clarity of each area....from fine hairs to stamens...and red/green thing-ees. Well done!

Superb shot! I love the detail you captured. The colors almost make it look like a watercolor painting.

Amazing detail. The high key presentation works wonderfully. The flower is a bit past its prime giving the center prime attention. Well done!

Fantastic DOF and detail with the flash and f/20. Ballance with the sky worked great. Getting a peek inside at the pistils is a nice concept.
