Tulip Cram

Another cram-it image from last weekend. I love this technique and look forward to perfecting some of the possibilities. As in my first cram, I switched from a macro lens to the 600mm, to take advantage of the limited DOF that lens offers.

Thanks for looking, larger image available

canon 7D
canon 600mm f4.L IS USM
F/6.7 1/250 ISO 100
Wimberley head, tripod, cable release

I'm not so sure about the lens choice - an interesting choice. I prefer a macro with extension tubes, the tubes tend to soften oof areas nicely. The image is nice and warm with lush colors. I bet the tulips in the NW look great this spring.

I like how you isolated the full bloom. The dew drops are a really nice touch. Your tulips look exactly the same color as the one I just posted.

Craig, I think think you hit a home run on this Image. The dew drops just make it even better. Well done. :toast:
