Excellent work!
Can you tell us what equipment you used? |
Thanks for those kind words rikkersc! I looked up the book on Amazon
http://tinyurl.com/2fjgjf - I see what you mean! I was fortunate with this guy - he came into the garden and let me get right up close and I was able to get off a number of shots - this is the best.
I used my Olympus E-500 with 40-150mm kit lens and EX-25 (25mm) extension tube. The exif is on the image if you want the gory details.
This version of the image has been sharpened up a tad (I know some folk who'd say it's over-sharpened
) in PS using the high pass filter.
Anyway - thanks again for your kind comments!
