This image was taken near Te-Anau on New Zealand’s South Island. It is pretty much straight from the camera. I used Photoshop to remove one blade of grass which was protruding into the right hand side and that was it. No other adjustments were made.
Canon EOS 7D; EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens @ 100mm; 1/30 sec @ f/6.3; ISO 100, hand held. Minimal processing (refer above). Best viewed large.
Wonderful capture Brad. I shot one in Tasmania last week but it certainly did not look this good. I find it interesting to look up ‘captures’ on the internet…guess you do too. Regards Myra
