Lovely shot. Are you able to achieve your great effects with just your camera? I'm using a bridge (I like the lightness) but am hoping to change it soon but am not sure in which direction to go.
@tremerryn Thanks for your encouragement! For this shot I used a 105mm Macro lens. This is as i shot it and cropped some. I recently took a course in Lightroom and I am trying to learn to use it. You can look at my info settings. I shoot the macro handheld so it is important that my lens is a VR (vibration reduction). Much to the dismay of some photo instructors I often shoot at a high ISO to get a faster shutter speed. There are so many options that it really is difficult to choose.
@helixconcepts Thanks Laura, This plant reminds me of the dusty miller plant. But this grows very tall and has a yellow flower when it is mature. It grows wild here.
Great close up
