Description Drops and flowers combined with shallow dof, i never get tired of it

I really like how the bokeh reflects in the drop here, never happened before.

Grain removal, contrast fix, tone adjustments, selective light and darken, cloning on distractions in photoshop.

And since i get this question a lot lately, i use the canon 100mm F2.8 lens, hand held, natural light.

Hope you like it, any fav or feedback is welcome and very appreciated.

Your steady hand amazes me. And this photo is gorgeous.
I have no words to describe how beautiful it really is. It's beyond just words.

I got the 60mm F2.8 lens on a 450D - you think I could achieve something like this with that? I have no idea how you manage to get the drops this sharp handheld - any tips on that?

What do you mean by "cloning on distractions"? Using the clone tool to remove distracting elements?

Sortvind In reply to neonxaos [2008-11-26 20:48:30 +0000 UTC]

i use the 350D so the 450D should be at least as good as mine.
I don`t think there is much difference between the 60 and 100mm, just the mm range.
just get used to taking photos hand held, and learn what shutterspeed is needed to avoid camera blur. i like to use 1/300 or faster
mhm, correct, clone tool to remove distractions.

neonxaos In reply to Sortvind [2008-11-26 21:23:44 +0000 UTC]

Great, can I borrow the horse tranquilizer you must use to steady your hands for that?

I've been experimenting a lot with with finding the proper shutterspeed, but I can definitely see what you mean - the faster, the less my shaking hands are likely to damage the result... It helps a lot to see your images and know what's possible with equipment similar to my own (and a lot of dedication).
