Textured Glass



This image was shot in my very modest home macro/flower studio, which consists of a table, small background, and 2 RPS studio lights. This image has been displayed by Nikon at PhotoExpo and PhotoWest a few times. The lens is stopped all the way down, but the background flowers are very soft, however, there is detail apparent. Seems ironic. Very simple. There's a piece of subtle textured glass between the first flower and the rest of them, which would render the soft background regardless of aperture. Using f/22 insured that the foreground flower would be razor sharp, especially in the stamen.
