Nice beadwork. I used to do that.
The picture looks way overexposed possibly because of spot metering on the dark center. In a situation like this, I usually take a test shot with the camera metering and then manually adjust the time to get the proper exposure. I usually don't mess with the f stop after I determine the amount of dof I want. On this one I would have shortened the time by 2 increments. Example: the auto setting said 1/60s I would have set it manually to 1/125s. Some people would bracket but I find doing it manually helps me have more precise control. |
