Spathiphyllum pair
Still building my collection of flora images :biggrin:

These are the main two heads on my spathiphyllum.

I could of done the single head shot, but i felt it needed some other interest.So i thought i would include the other one in the BG.

I have another shot(s) of this "stacked".But it gives the illusion of both the heads were at the same distance.Having the one on the right OOF gives the image depth.Which is what i was after.

20D
EF100 2.8 macro lens
Tri-pod/release cable
Natural light
Lastolight reflector
ISO 100
1/10sec @ f/5
Expo comp -1 2/3

Comments welcome

Thanks for looking :smile:

I like this . I think the two opposite curves go well together. I reckon the back one in focus too would have worked.
As a matter of interest Andy
I used a 50mm lens with a 2x converter today on a Lizard. Does that combination make it macro ? Or- does a 50mm +2x + no4 closeup make it one.?
Cheers

My favourite of your latest so far, I would've been tempted to echo but the switch on this works really well.
Fantastic work.

The second head looks like a reflection in a mirror. very good.

very nice, the out-of-focus one adds depth like you say

Hi Alan,

Superb capture! I like the Oof one in the BG adds more interest as you say!
