Portrait of my neighbour
You can buy this photo for both personal and commercial (royalty free) use from my Dreamstime portfolio.
This is not a crop!
This family settled down very close to us - in fact, on the roof over the patio at the entrance to our house. One of them graciously agreed to pose for this formal portrait...
Definitely a cliche - a basic formal portrait (one softbox, one reflector, white paper background)...
Technical blob: this is a super-macro shot (2.7:1) on a budget: 6$ for a coupler ring, to attach my old manual focus 50mm f/2.0 lens on top of my telephoto lens (135mm f/2.0), in a reversed position. The photograph was made out of 100 individual shots using the focus stacking technique, to achieve very large DoF. I used free software enfuse. The method is described here: photoblog.edu-perez.com/2009/01/greater-depth-field-macro... .
Happy Cliche Saturday to all!
