Eye on You…

Wandering along the flower beds in the Botanic Gardens I was looking for a nice flower to shoot which wasn’t being drastically blown in the breeze. This small specimen was barely 5 or 10cm above the ground and the petals had yet to unfurl – it looked like a tiny cylinder of white with a purple heart dangling from it’s tiny stem and facing directly out towards the path.
Note: These images (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger – so click any of the images below to see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer.
The result of 22 images focus stacked [1/160 sec at f/4.5, ISO 100] using the LED macro ring light and the tri-grip diffuser to soften the hard sun (and reduce the breeze) this is my favourite image from the day

NIKON D7000 + 105.0 mm f/2.8 @ 105 mm, 1/160 sec at f/4.5, ISO 100
and for comparison the single frame – 1/160 sec at f/8 and ISO 400 – in this case I didn’t even get enough depth of field to reach from the stamens inside the flower to the centre of the flower
