Macro Monday, how I love thee! I can always find something to look at up close. Today, I picked up some tulips at Trader Joe’s; I will probably use them for tomorrow’s textured photo as well.
I had an interesting time photographing these guys. I wanted the petals and the interior ALL in focus, so kept closing my aperture more. I finally settled on f/22, which gave me a shutter speed of 10 seconds- a first for me (I had already decided to use a low ISO). I was, of course, using the tripod- and remembered to use live view (thanks again, Rudy) and my remote (thanks for the reminder, Carol). Live view ended up being really important today, because my eyes are still dilated from today’s eye appointment- so I HOPE this is in focus!
