Admirable Stigma

Posted on 7 June 2008
Best viewed at "original" size

The incredible depth of field is achieved by shooting a series of 10 images
from the nearest to the furthest petal tips and rolling the focus along with each shoot.

Those 10 pictures were then blended into a single image thru' a software "Helicon Focus".

The following picture shows my lighting setup:

Not only do you find amazing flowers to shoot, many of which we have never seen here in America, Canada... but your MAGIC LIGHT brings it to life, shows its increadible beauty. My crystal ball tells me that someday... a coffee table book will be born out of its beauty.
Amazing images CM.
