Model: NIKON D7200
Lens (mm): 35 (AF-S NIKKOR 35/1.8G ED)
ISO: 560
Aperture: 3.5
Shutter: 1/60
Picture Control: [VI]Vivid
To shoot this, I rigged the camera on a tripod and used the interval timer to let the camera shoot 2 shots every 10s as I drilled the hole. I could have rigged a remote, but I needed two hands to hold the piece of metal in place and operate the drill press at the same time. I haven't made a foot- or mouth-operated remote for the D7200 yet.
The day was uncommonly warm with some very harsh sunlight. I thought, well I have a lens hood and a Hoya CPL filter in use, so I should be okay shooting these conditions. My word, was I wrong. The flowers looked absolutely beautiful, however, the sunlight truly wreaked havoc with my shots. Overall it worked out quite well with a lot of Post Photo Editing.
This result was the best I was able to do, so hope all you fine folks enjoy this one.
Thanks so much for viewing.
