3/10/08 - I'm a Little Daffy

Larger than life size macro.
Piled on all of the glass again - the same as yesterday's PAD with 105 mm 1:1 macro plus 1.4X teleconverter, Canon 500D closeup lens all atop a Gitzo 2220 tripod holding the D300 a few inches above the ground and looking through a right angle viewfinder (while wearing kneepads - maybe the most important element of all).
For a day with supposedly light (5mph) winds the flowers were really dancing. Cranked the ISO up to 1000 in order to get a fairly fast shutter speed and freeze the motion. Tried for a soft overall presentation with just the flower's center sharp.

Nikon D300
1/640s f/5.6 at 105.0mm iso1000 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
