ZenCircles
Uploaded: October 03, 2011
Last of the Zenscapes. All were photographed using a makeshift sand box (16x20) made of foamcore. Sand was purchased from a craft store and the rocks are from the backyard. Placed the sand box in a light tent and lit with a single strobe. Settings were f/22 at 1/160th with an ISO of 200. Some adjustment made using Topaz Adjust and Tiffen filers.
