Fantastic shot Flavio. Just like your other SP this is a great example of how you can take something fairly standard (an SP) and make it your own. Once again setting you apart from many of us (certainly myself) as such a unique and beautiful photographer. VERY well done my friend. #6078352

Flavio, you have received so many comments, this is stunning, the implied depth, the mood, the colour choice. Excellent. Can you tell me if you remember where is the focus point, what meter pattern and what angle in mm length was the lens on?
Thanks and great work to share.

Flavio Carnevale level-classic October 07, 2008

Donna, Jen, Dominick... thank you fo you comments.
Fels, thank you, here are shot parameters...

24-105mm f4 L IS USM
used @ 24mm to enhance perspective and DOF I needed.
Focal point as it shown in the photo (more or less...)
Don't remember the distance between camera, wall and me... but you can easily find that with some attempts.
What I can suggest you is to use a good lens or search an appropriate diaphram aperture in order to have a good DOF but also avoid blurring effect at the edges, just because you have to mantain a perfect sharpness on the subject.
Other parameters, as in the description are:
ISO 400
f/7,1
1/125
Tripod
Wireless control
