Winner of the May 2010 Photo Challenge - Popular Photography magazine.
August of 2010 I had my first photo published. I still remember making the image.
This dandelion picture was taken during my morning walk on a trail alongside Beaver Pond, Kanata, Ontario, in May 2010. I wanted to shoot it very close up while keeping the subject in sharp focus. The natural light was not enough to shoot hand-held so I used my Phoenix SmartFlash. I placed a piece of black paper behind it, spot metered and set ISO to 320 for the required 1/200-sec flash sync speed and to control motion blur. Later I converted the image to black and white in Photoshop. It was featured in the August issue of the Popular Photography magazine.
Camera specs: Canon 5D Mark II fitted with EF100mm f/2.8 IS lens, f/32 @ 1/200 second, ISO 320.
