Satin & Velvet

2007.08.09




Well, back to the traditional - black background, macro lens, up close and personal, and max dof - for the tulips. Traditional for me anyway. :) As much as I like to think I'm a rebel, I am an old fashioned, romantic photo girl at heart.

1-3 were taken inside on Saturday afternoon with window light. #4 was taken outside on Sunday morning.

Stats D200 w/70-180 macro lens.
1-70mm 1/2s @ F22
2-122mm 1/2s @ F22
3-70mm 1/2s @ F22
4-180mm 1/30s @ F32

photopoet Just stunning. I think I like the black background best.

Cherax Gorgeous!
Love the effect - guessing you had someone hold up a black screen behind. 1/2 sec, so you must've used a tripod too (thanks for the settings).

Carley These are absolutely exquisite! I'm probably very prejudiced about this, but there's nothing wrong with the traditional!

OC110481 Lovely, lovely!
Love the last one. The tulip look so gentle, soft and thick in the same one. Strong but soft.

garysktam exquisite and speechless

davids Gorgeous shots - #3 is spectacular and a definite favourite

vollenda Thanks everyone :)

Cherax - Yes, I did use a tripod. I would say I use a tripod 99% of the time when I use that macro lens because it's heavy. A brick, really.

TIM927 Tender and beautiful!
