# Lens: Tamron 90mm / 200 ISO / 1/125 sec @ f/8 / metering set to <strike>aperture-priority</strike> manual<br />''(It has to be a macro lens.)''
# Flash: SB-900, bounced off <strike>umbrella</strike> ceiling in the N Rose studio. 1/4 power. Focal length set to 50mm, although not sure if this makes a difference here.
# Camera mounted on Gitzo GT2331 tripod. (see photo)
## Camera pointed straight down.
## Front legs not extended, set at middle notch. Resting on table.
## Back leg on lowest notch, extended a little bit. Resting on step ladder.
