A little flower power tonight. I am a bit embarrassed to say I have no idea what this plant is, although I am sure someone will tell me, but it looks very pretty and I thought it would make a nice subject for my photo of the day.
Shot on my 5D with a 100mm macro lens attached, set to manual 1/125 sec at f14, ISO 100, the flash was set to manual 1/128 power. I took this image straight into PS, added a Topaz Small Detail, with a boost to the colour saturation, then added the frame.
I have included a set up shot tonight so you can see how easy it was to shoot. It was daylight when the shot was taken but by back-lighting and shooting on manual it is very easy to make the background appear completely black. Have a go, remember trial and error is the way to learn and with static subjects like flowers you can try and try and they won't get bored. Good Luck.
Super work John. Lovely image.
