Vinca spp
6

Hi, Im new to this thread and my first post on Macro.  I have been photographing forever but had to take a break for a several years due to job conflicts.  Macro is very challenging and am looking forward to improving.  The 2 images are from a Vinca flower from our yard.  I used an EOS 1D Mark iv and MP-e65 1-5x macro lens to capture the images.  Thanks for looking.

Re: Vinca spp

hi Marc, glad your back to having fun with macro, love the colours but i'd have thought that lens would be much sharper in the center of the flower, are these reduced size pics?, no exif data provided in image so ive no idea what settings your using

Re: Vinca spp

Actually, I don’t recall the exact settings.  The image was stacked.  I think the settings were at iso 50, f7.1 and I used silent shutter on the 1D.  The camera & lens  were set on a manual focusing rail that was used to stack the images & processed in Zerene software.

Re: Vinca spp

I think you’ve posted a small fuzzy crop (1000px wide), I’m sure your originals are so much better
