Sony A7R, Canon FL 55 1.2, F16, ISO 2000, Shutter: 80.
10sec time delay to help prevent movement.
Lens was attached in reverse to a Minolta extension tube for the E mount Sony. The extension tube setup is the same size as the Canon Filter size. I also installed a #2 length extension section. The flower is tiny. I had placed it on a sheet of paper which was laid out on my iPhone. The foreground black was the black edge of the iPhone case and the background black was from a computer monitor foot mount. The light was a small standard incandescent light in a small desk top lamp with a flexible neck. I placed the light over the flower slightly behind to give a little back light. Camera was on the desk and I just moved the camera to focus. I used the focus peaking and magnification to get the focus. This lens however is a rather soft lens so my opinion it was not as sharp out of the camera as I thought it could be. But I love the image. I like the black foreground and background with the flower spotlighted. Removing the black foreground ruined the effect. I left it in place. No cropping and a small adjustment and cleaning of a few specs and a small amount of sharpening in LR.
