A change of vision from the very large to the very small led to this image.<\/p>\n
I was actually playing around with a macro lens and 2x converter and trying to capture bugs in flight. After many attempts I still had not managed to get a critter right on the focal plane which was incredibly tight, perhaps around 1mm deep. In the end I gave up in frustration and photographed something I had a little more control over.<\/p>\n
There is nothing really exciting about paper napkins but it did give me the opportunity to play with lighting. For this image I used a soft fill flash in the front and brighter flash at the rear right to provide a combination of strong side lighting with just a hint of rim light.<\/p>\n
I’ll try for those critters again soon enough.<\/p>\n
