Rococo

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted June 28, 2015491 views8 comments

I often use a 50mm lens with extension tubes because it has a bokeh which, given the right angle, produces unrivalled atmosphere. This image shows grass and a spider web, all covered in dew, with the early morning sun playing in it, revealing an almost baroque or rococo tapestry image.

50mm - extension tubes - f/1,8 - 100 ISO - 1/1000s - Nikon D800E - no crop, nothing added or removed

I have been very absent recently, part of the reason for that is because I've been working on my new website; if you feel tempted, do have a look at the result of all that hard work cool : http://www.ingridvekemans.com

This is a very "painterly" image, Ingrid. It feels very much like an impressionist painting with enough detail to know what the subject is while creating a fine gentle atmosphere. The oof strings of light from the dew drops are a special addition.

This is an extraordinarily beautiful image, very unique, well-titled, and just memorable. The soft colors are perfect, mixed with all the lines and circles, the sparkling dew drops....it is a magical image, one that I'd love to emulate. Your work with dew drops is all magnificent.
