Try to get everything right in this one from point of view with a black board used for the background. Used ISO 100, the lowest setting for better clarity and a high F-stop for a short depth-of-field. Used bright midday sun light with a white board for reflective light. Set up on a try pod I also used the timer on the camera as to limit shaking. The one thing missing was a good micro lens.
The next thing to get on my list.. LOL
Post processed with Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 to sharpen, enhanced the brightness and contrast. Cropped, resized and added border for TrekLens.
