Re: Strip Tease.

Lovely concept and well worth playing with some more.

I think the DOF needs to be increased, try using f8 so that you get the foil in front of the OXO cubes in focus and the leading edge of the first cube. As it is I feel that the only part of the image that is in sharp focus is the bit of foil just in front of the cubes.

Very disappointing Di, i thought i was going to see you full frontal
At least those male oxo cube will be happy

Seriously, thanks for sharing this Di. I am looking for a macro lens and this looks really nice.

Re: Strip Tease.

Glad you like it -

and to prove that I do read and try to take some things in.. I've had another go today... with an incease in F number.

I also played with using the Kenko extension tubes with the macro lens as well.. so wait for it ...more photos on the way.

This time I lit everything with a halogen desk lamp - used my tripod (usually do everything hand held) and my used my remote release and the view screen. Flat batteries however stopped play.

Re: Strip Tease.

Spot on Di. Now all you have to do is put in on some black card and then it will really pop

[DeeGee]

Re: Strip Tease.

On black card.




and even a HDR - Not a true HDR - Gnu has a script which takes the same photo processes it three times and then merges it.

Re: Strip Tease.

Nice shot hope i can do the same just got my canon EOS 550d

Re: Strip Tease.

The "on black card" image could have been improved by reflecting some light back into the shadows with a white card.
Interesting thread Di
