Carved Wood Button

A backlit macro view of a carved wood button, taken for the Macro Mondays group theme, "Button." The frame represents a span of 1½ - inches across.

 

Strobist/technical info:

The scene is a 25-image focus stack composite. The button was leaned up against a square piece of crystal, which was illuminated from underneath by the green and blue LEDs of a Coast TX10 Quad Color flashlight. The front of the button was illuminated by a single Nikon SB900 speedlight with its wide panel deployed and a Rogue "Chocolate" gel attached. The flash was placed camera left, slightly above camera level, and two-feet away from the subject. The speedlight was fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄32 power through a gridded snoot.

 

The SB900 was triggered by two PocketWizard Plus X's.

 

Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D (AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro) with 12mm extension tube attached.
