Taste the Nectar
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Hi Folks , today I have this macro of an ant eating the nectar of a flower bud. this photo I took using manual focus , but instead of focusing with the focus ring , I just set it to very close to its closest focus distance , then moved the camera to achieve focus. at such close proximity the depth of field drops to very very slender , so I had stopped down quite far , and used the flash to get exposure...
for pp, raw to jpeg in photoshop elements 6 a touch of extra noise reduction and exposure compensation.
cropped and resized in faststone image viewer.
thanks for looking
regards

Hi Art,
Boy, you sure did it the hard way...and what a superb result. The DOF and sharpness, spot on.
Peter.

You have an interesting note and way of doing this shot...
I never would have tried something like that but it has worked perfectly.
The detail in this shot is incredible. Great focus and depth of field.
TFS and take care,
Migelo
