April 23: Lilly of the Valley.
I took a big group of shots today, but with overhauling our fish tank. New rocks, pump, plants and recycling 35 gals of water I have not had a chance to look at most of the 80 picture I have in LR. I did run Helicon focus on 3 different stacks in between cleaning the tank. This and the bug I caught on the rosemary turned out well. This shot is straight from the camera no PP sans focus stacking 4 shots. This lilly had opened fully between yesterday and today so I thought I had better get my shot before the bloom fades. I was real happy with this shot to the point that I have not even looked at the remainder that I took today.
EXIF: The same for all 5 shots in the series
D200 on a tripod
105mm macro
1/60 sec
f/13
- 1/3 EV

Nikon R1 lighting system, used both flashes one on the ring one hand held
