Flower Macro

Date: Fall 2005.
Copyrights: All rights reserved Manoj Iyer

I had the chance to borrow a maro lens from a friend of mine and headed out to the Zilker park botanical gardens. I unloaded a couple of rolls of Velvia 100F. I like this one coz it has some elements of abstract to it. Set my camera to F32 and used a macro rail to focus. I dint want a sharp focus and wanted to keep it a little soft.

I love the colors and the balance of the colors. WHat I have a problem with is the sharpness of the image. It is really soft. It looks like a DOF problem or scanner problem. Which part of the flower did you focus on?

It was focused manually on a macro rail mounted on a tripod. I kept the focus soft coz I liked the effect, I have the same shot with the flower in focus and it does not look that good to me. Usually see flower macros with sharp focus, I thought this is something different that I can try. I was experimenting with the macro lens as I borrowed from a friend who let me have it for an evening.
