These images were taken with a Canon 70D. I rented a Canon 100mm macro “L” series lens from BorrowLenses.com. On my kitchen table, I set up a light box so the subject would be lit from below. The camera was mounted on a tripod above the light box pointing straight down. I viewed the image through the lens via wi-fi on my iPad. The shot was manually focused and exposure set through the iPad app. Each image took approximately a 2 minute exposure. I used a flashlight to achieve some uneven lighting. The Canon 100mm lens worked beautifully pulling all the petals into focus.
