It rained Busses today: BCS and BC

OK, it looks like he use a similar set up to me except Nikon. I use the Canon 50mm Macro and a 30D and usually shoot around f/8-f/11. The pick of the FBM has perfect DOF to cover the entire blade. Amazing shot of a beautiful knife.

Here's one of my recent photos with that set up. Not a Busse, but still purdy nonetheless.

That is a purdy knife... great shot!

I think the both of you take some AMAZINGLY beautiful photos. :thumbup: :thumbup:

 
I used a Nikon D200 digital SLR with Nikkor 60mm Micro lens to take the photo. The aperture was set to F/36 with a 1.6-second exposure. Nothing was stitched together. I shot in NEF (aka, RAW), and processed the images in Lightroom and Photoshop CS3. Only corrective sharpening was applied (necessary, due to scaling from 10 megapixels down to less than one megapixel). And yes, I was able to get some good depth-of-field. One of the advantages of a genuine macro lens is the ability to achieve smaller apertures than standard lenses, most of which cannot go smaller than F/22.
 
Thanks for the info. Once again, that is a great shot. Usually on 35mm anything over f/16 will start to lose sharpness due to diffraction, but it looks like it held up well at f/36. Very nice.
 
If I don't need the depth-of-field, I generally use a larger aperture. I have been very happy with the results that the D200 and 60mm Micro deliver.
 
A D200 sure should produce! I have camera envy with my D70s :D
