Iris
Shot taken early morning in The Blue Mountains.
Misty Filtered light. Photo shopped out background distractions.
Equipment – Canon 5D, Canon 180mm macro 3.5 L, f18, 2/5 sec. ISO 50.
I always use these three things when shooting macro flowers – my Manfrotto tripod, a cable remote and mirror lock up activated.
Wind is the enemy with macro flower shots. Even in the early morning it took several shots before I got one with NO wind movement.
Thanks for looking.
cheers
Crispin
