Looking Sharp

Uploaded: February 07, 2010 09:29:00

Description

This was taken at the Gulf Coast Botanical Gardens in Spring Hill, Florida in June 2009 with my Canon 100mm Macro Lens.

The goal here was selective focus and shallow DOF along with a full frame composition.

Other than developing this from RAW with Adobe RAW editor, this is straight from the camera.

Entered into Details and Macro.

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: -1.33, ExposureTime: 1/160 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 150.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II
