It seems I must have been asleep when I typed in the shooting info.... ::)

Correct info is 7D with 100 f/2.8L macro, ISO 100, f/32, 1.3 sec. Can view all this in EXIF info embedded in file.

The main point I was trying to make here was my desire for max DOF (f/32) and good IQ (ISO 100), which required somewhat long shutter speed (1.3 sec). Fortunately, there was enough available light and no wind to do this. :)

More of test. In hindsight, additional shots at wider apertures would have been instructive for comparison purposes. Still, wider apertures would have lowered the DOF, which I wanted to maximize in this case. Lots of detail in this tulip that I found interesting. The DOF trade at some point becomes an artistic choice, even considering some optical distortion - and not an absolute necessity. :)
