Point to Point

by Bill Fach

Gallery: FloraPosted February 23, 20082,305 views15 comments
Sony A100
Minolta 200mm macro
ISO 100, 1/6 @ f4

This is a composite of two shots, each shot wide open with a single leaf tip sharp. I erased the OOF overlay of the lower tip and voila! The tips were actually close enough that I could get enough DOF to get them both sharp on a single frame but I liked the effect of the rest of the image, especially the reds, remaining soft. All comments welcome. >=))>

Whoa Bill, this is FINE. I love the shot. The points, the color, and the lines in the shot are really wonderful. Very creative.
