I took this picture at The Eden Project. I do not know if you have heard of it. It is a great place to take picture

In a former life, I used to exotic dance under the name "Lily Stamen" at the Eden Club.

Natural, subdued lighting, I presume.

What lens, tubes, etc.?

I haven't. Where is it? I'll have to check it out next time I'm on your side of the pond.

I used a sigma 18 -250mm lens and no tubes, natural lighting which is subdued due to the biome. As there can be a lot of humidity in there I only use one lens as I do not want to change it in there. I find this lens good as I can take various focal lengths with it. You have to wait for your lens to demist. I use a tripod stand back and zoom in. I use a Nikon D300

Hi LoneRangeFinder. The Eden Project is in St Austell Cornwall about 45-minutes from me. Put this in your search engine and you should get to the website with information and pictures: http://www.edenproject.com

This picture was taken not long after it was opened and it changes through the seasons. The education center was added a few years ago, which has a large granite seed inside. There is a Rain Forest Biome (bio-dome ecosystem) and a Mediterranean Biome.

I like it! Cool colors, interesting DOF lead the eye right to the sharply focused stamen.
