This dahlia image was created on the recently-concluded Swan Island Dahlia Farm IPT with the tripod-mounted Canon EF 100mm f\/2.8L IS macro lens<\/a> and the Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital camera body<\/a>. ISO 400. Evaluative metering +1 1\/3 stops: 1\/20 sec. at f\/22 in Av mode. <\/p>\n

Live View for mirror lock and the live RGB histogram. 2-second timer. Manual Focus. Click on the image to enjoy a larger version. <\/p>\n

I created a series of images at every f\/stop from f\/2.8 to f\/32. F\/22 was my favorite as it brought up the background nicely without making it too obtrusive as it was at f\/32.<\/p>\n
