Lily Flower

June 30th, 2010

Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III__TS-E90mm f/2.8__6.0 sec at f / 22__ISO 100

I have a small pond adjacent to my backyard patio, and the lilies are in bloom!  I made this image on Sunday, using two frames stitched together in Photoshop CS5.  To fulfill my concept, I cut the flower, then placed it in a small bowl of water which in turn was placed on black velvet.  Aiming straight down, I “shifted” my Canon TS 90mm lens to include two halves of the flower in two separate exposures.  This techniques allows me to create a square format with Photomerge, which suits this flower shape to me.  It also gives me a bigger file:  PS Image Size reads this file as 206 MB.

Enjoy, and let me know your thoughts,   Bill

    I like the shot – the depth, color and sharpness are great as usual. You have such a nice subtle touch in image creation. What was the light source? Window with reflector?

  2. Hi Stacey,

    I used light from two corner windows in my dining room, with fabric on the floor!

    Thanks for your kinds words. How’s your work coming along?

  3. Beautiful light, colours and details. The square format suits it perfectly.

    Another outstanding image but how did you get such depth of field at f/2.8?

  5. Thanks!
