Rose With Dew

  • A
  • stm
A studio shot of a red rose, photographed with the Hasselblad in my home made light tent. I used two 250 w/s strobes bounced into umbrellas and pointed downward at a 60º angle. The water was added with a spray bottle. Because of the close proximity to the subject and using a long lens, I needed to use my 0.5m Proxar and stop down to f/32 . I lost a little sharpness due to diffraction, but the image is sharp from front to back, which was my goal. This image is actually a scan of the negative on an Epson V700. No manipulation except for resizing and a wee bit of cropping.
