Re: mjs1973 Congratulations!!!
WOW! Thanks Alison! I'll PM you my address so you know where to send my prize. I thought I read somewhere that the November project winner would get a 40D and an EF 70-200mm f/2.8 IS, or was it the 600mm f/4? Either way, I'll get you my address. ;)
If anyone in interested, here are the specs on this image.
It was shot in Manual Mode, ISO 200, shutter speed of .4 seconds @f/8. Camera used is 300D (original DRebel), lens 24-70mm f/2.8L @ 60mm.
The two leaves in the BG are laying on a piece of black velvet. The red leaf in the FG is resting on top of my stack of extension tubes to help separate it from the other leaves. I sprayed all of the leaves with a little water. They were lit from the right, using a light box for viewing slides, and some white foam core board on the left as a reflector.

Nice job Mike. Thanks for what went into making the photo. I always enjoy reading about the motivation and process.
Cheers,
Tim
Re: mjs1973 Congratulations!!!
Good job, Mike. Hope some people look and see what kind of work is involved with taking a shot like that.
Re: mjs1973 Congratulations!!!
Mike,
Excellent shot and well deserved - I thought everyone wins a 40D... still waiting for mine and Alison has my address :lol:

Re: mjs1973 Congratulations!!!
Oh dear. I thought the 40D I received was for me! I didn't realise it was the prize!
Sorry guys. :D
Re: mjs1973 Congratulations!!!
Thanks everyone!
One other thing I forgot to mention. I believe I used the Orton Imagery technique on this image as well.
Re: mjs1973 Congratulations!!!
Nice going Mike. A well deserved honor. Remember it is a rotating crown you have to pass it on to the next months winner.

Using stuff that's laying around to create a great image - nice job! :thumbsup:
Hadn't thought about using a light box as a light source but it makes perfect sense seeing as it's a soft, diffused source and color corrected. (The word "duh" comes to mind!).
Re: mjs1973 Congratulations!!!
Congrats Mike!
Thank you for posting your specs. I was sitting here wishing I had the guts to ask you how you shot the winning photo and you posted it! How very kind of you!
