Last month's issue of LensWork featured a photographer by the name of Guy Gagnon, a French Canadian living in Belgium. His photographs are black and white renderings of dried plants against a black velvet background. Since it's snowing outside and I didn't really feel like getting out, I draped a black sweatshirt over a dining chair, parked it next to the window, and took a few frames of this leaf that recently fell off one of my wife's plants.
http://picasaweb.google.com/sdloveless/PDMLPESO/photo#5035527265195980162 I shot this with the K100D and 18-55 kit lens at 45mm, f11, 0.3 seconds, -1.5EV, ISO 200, and then tinkered around with it a bit in Picasa. I think it needs more depth of field. I think I need a better understanding of black and white conversion. I know I'm going to want that 35mm Macro Limited. Comments and critiques most welcome. Thanks for looking. -- Scott Loveless ============ I think on something like this, it would be better to have stronger DOF throughout most of it. I.E. It doesn't quite work for me.
