New macro: spoon chrysanthemum

[glitch]

Had a play with the new 5D to see what it could do. Quite happy with the results, although I've already spotted one thing that I need to adjust with the shot.



I've never really done the whole 'studio' style of photography so I'm quite chuffed with how this turned out - certainly room for improvement but not bad for a hastily cobbled together setup on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

WOW! Check out that detail, thats one awesome photo, well done!

Thanks

That's a really nice shot, great subject and really well pulled off. What did you use as lighting, I'm guessing you've got something to give a really diffuse light?

Thanks for the comments, Golden. It's actually lit from my lounge window, so nothing really special used.

Looks very good.

Merci.

that's nice, did you use a white background or introduce it later?

It's the reverse side of some black mounting board I had knocking about. Unfortunately it's more off-white than brilliant-white, but it's all I had to hand.

cracking shot. what lens were you using...its a nice sharp shot.

Canon EF 10mm f/2.8 macro. Just realised I've wiped the EXIF off the JPEG!

On a side note, does anyone use extension tubes with their lenses?
