I'm looking for a quality macro lens. I saw a Tamron 60mm 1:1 f2 lens the other day that put the Canon 1:4 f2.8 to shame. And it cost 1/2 as much. I may have to do it. I love shooting pics of little things like bugs and flowers. |
One of the problems with this shot is where your light is. Looking at the shadows, the sun is behind the sunflowers which is making it hard to expose the dark centers.
You could change your metering to spot and expose for the dark centers of the sunflowers, but that might blow everything else out.
You could add flash or use a reflector to add fill light the shadowed centers of the flowers.
It would probably be easiest to move and find a different sunflower that's facing the right way.
