In this photo, I was not doing much besides trying to see what the Nikon 28-300 f/3.5.6 could do more-or-less as a macro lens. I wanted to capture all the details of the flower and yet make the background to be slightly soft.
Overall, I liked the results and was surprised that I could get the background as soft as it is at f/38.Enjoy.
Camera settings: Nikon D3, Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6, ISO 200, f/38 and two second on a tripod with an SB800 with a snoot and triggered by PocketWizard Flex.
Post Processing:
Lightroom 3—Set black and white points, added clarity and mid-tone contrast and adjusted hue of green.
Photoshop CS5—sharpened flower using the high pass filter method.
Detail is nice but you need to give me a reason to look at the pix.
