PAD 349 - Fossil

[Mike Farley]

Day 349 and one of those frustrating days. Dull, wet weather and nothing I tried worked out. In the end I resorted to a subject I have been holding in reserve for such an occasion.

Canon EOS 7D
EF 100 f/2.8 macro
1/200 sec
f/8
ISO 100
Tripod
Cable release
Wirelessly triggered Yongnuo 560-II flash, full power shot through umbrella
Wirelessly triggered Canon 550EX flash with Stofen diffuser, full power

I saw the title and assumed you'd broken your rule on self portraits

*very big joke disclaimer, I love you really!*



works really well in mono.

Love the sharpness of the fossil.

Thanks, Paul. The texture you can see behind it is actually another fossil, but DOF did not stretch to that.
