And a very lovely little flower it is! Great job, esp. with the
depth of field and exposure (...for being sooooo close to it, wow!)
Well done! Nee

Thanks :)

I tried the same with a bee but she didn't like having the camera an inch above her and she kinda warned me by bumping into my finger before going back to her work. Since I couldn't put my eye on the camera to frame and focus it turned out pretty bad.

That's when you're suppose to get closeup/macro lenses I guess :)

I notice a slight bluish haze which is normal in shadow light. I wonder if setting the white balance differently would tend to remove it. I experimented in Photoshop and was able to brighten the whites by going to levels and getting the white eyedropper then clicking on the whitest part of the flower. I would show it to you but I don't know how to embed the picture in this message. If you would like to see it e-mail me at: [email protected]

Rod, thanks for your feedback. I did already modify the white balance (became a bit more magenta) and contrast and was pleased with the results. I can go back at it and see about a bluish haze, although I;m not sure I see one. But I know that usually I see the problems on my pictures after they are corrected! (not sure that makes sense).

I also touched the picture to remove the bright blue fringes due to barrel distortion or chromatic aberrations.

Thanks again for your comment, I'll look into it.

David.

Here is the bee in question. Not a very good photo or macro but what can you do with no addon lens, crouching on the ground, camera at the tip of your extended arms, and too much light to see what's on the LCD screen?

My first bee picture :)
