The mastery of light is excellent
xavier cervantes 8 months ago
that is one of the best dragonfly photos I have ever seen... No, wait, that IS THE BEST !!! Could you tell me which camera parameters were used and a word or two about this wonderful lighting?
jimmy hoffman  Much appreciated,Xavier.
This picture was taken in our backyard,early in the morning.I've used a Canon Powershot G10 on a tripod.I've made 2 shots.One for the background(ISO 80,Tv 1/15 , Av 2.8 , exposure comp. -2) and one for the dragonfly(Iso 80 , Tv 0.6 ,Av. 8.0, Exposure comp. -2).On the computer I've edited them together to one picture.For extra lighting I've used a mirror.I hope this is enough information for you!
Cheers,Jimmy
xavier cervantes  Thank you very much, I see that you had in your mind the idea of blending the two pictures after taking them. Sometimes, the simplest solutions are also the smartest ones, like using a mirror. Have a nice day, I'll be following your published works.
jimmy hoffman  Indeed I try to keep things simple.
Gracias and I hope to seeing your work published here as well!
Nice day to you too.:)
Beautiful colors Jimmy!
