"This image is Essentially a still life shot.
The flower was clamped in a Wimberley plamp attached to a tripod and side lit with fairly bright light,
which also added a bit of a shadow to the background.
Quite faint on the image but it gave a much smoother transition from front to back on the final image.
A second tripod held the camera and this was remotely operated
so that I didn’t get in the light path and produce any shadows.

"Autogain automatically adjusts the camera sensitivity to accommodate varying light levels
and is there to give a consistent brightness. I sometimes try it with and without autogain to see the difference.
With the autogain on it will also affect any additional ‘Overlay’ image,
so it can be a bit fiddly particularly since it is not helped by the size of the viewer. on the OM3.

The flowers were positioned so as to allow some camera movement

The second shot was a very slight shift to the right
avoiding huge white spaces in the final image.

Although the OM3 will take Black and White images this was on the
everyday setting and I used Image Adjustment in Photoshop to convert to B&W."
