I am intrigued... "dusting brush" ... is this a girlie thing ?...mine are all covered in paint !
22 Mar 2009 7:37pm
@Jasp: LOL...actually I use it in my studio to brush dust and other small debris off of the surfaces after arranging the items to be photographed. There can be a lot schmutz and the brush works pretty well to get rid of it. I had used it on the mirror and when I just placed it down after using it and I thought hmmm...why not take a photo of it.

The fall off in focus towards the background is quite fascinating. Wonderful image!
23 Mar 2009 3:30am
@Andrew Gould: Thanks. The lens is a macro and even at such small apertures the DoF is very tight. I have shot this lens all he way down to f51 and still had a really narrow DoF in macro.
Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, Canada
That is wonderful. Nice simple composition.

Mike from Lichfield, United Kingdom
I'm surprised your depth of field is so shallow with F22. Good photo though with good composition.
23 Mar 2009 6:17am
@Mike: Thanks. The lens is a macro lens and the DoF remains shallow when shooting in close even at the smallest apertures. I've shot stopped to f51 with this lens and still get a pretty tight DoF.

Anita from West Nottingham, United States
Using the mirror is a great idea. I may borrow the idea.
23 Mar 2009 9:30am
@Anita: Thanks. Using a mirror, black glass, clear glass, pearl glass, white glass, or an color glass or acrylic makes a great reflective background. Have fun.
Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Very clean image and a great DOF, I like it very much.
