WATER LILY


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   WATER LILY
WATER LILY
I shot this calm scene at a pond in the morning by setting the camera on the edge of it and capturing the lily at water level. I used a Canon 70-200 IS L lens with a 20mm extension tube attached. I opened up the aperature to 4.0@ 1/750. Recorded focal length was 84.0mm.

  Wow,thanks for all of the comments on this image. It took a lot of pushing from a couple of my favourite instructors on this site to finally get out of my lazy stage and use those extension tubes.

Thank you Mr.Peterson for the push in my first course.

Thank you Kerry too!! You have been very encouraging and more helpful than you could ever imagine. I don't go anywhere wihout at least one extension tube NOW!
