Full of Beauty - Beautiful

Description

Thanks to Donna Pagakis on sharing her valuable tip while shooting flowers hand held in the outdoors.
She suggested to jack up the ISO in order to still get a decent shutter speed at low aperture values (potentially avoiding any blur induced due to wind).
I also tried my best to keep the sensor of the camera parallel to the virtual horizontal plain on top of the flower.

Shot this hand-held looking down on an overcast day using Nikon D7100 with Tokina 100mm macro lens @ f/18, 1/200s, ISO1600.


Exif: F Number: 18, Exposure Bias Value: -0.67, ExposureTime: 1/200 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 1600, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 100.00 mm, Model: NIKON D7100
