[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I finally got around to taking some photos of some Queen Anne Lace seed pods that I have had laying around since August.? For kicks I used the Q3? on a tripod and cropped heavily.? All three of these photos are stacked images.? View them large if you can. Here is the full scene as close as I could get with the Q3 in Macro mode.

Queen Anne Lace-1000821-Edit-2 (leica-users.org) <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/misc/m/Queen+Anne+Lace-1000821-Edit-2.jpg.html> Here is the "just for kicks" part.? I chose that amount of crop because before I did these, I was taking the photos using the Leica 100/2.8 APO with the 1:1 Elpro on my Nikon Z7ii.? So, here is a shot from that great lens and it is full frame, not cropped. Really no comparison, but I am wondering if you did not see this shot, would you be satisfied with the cropped Q3 shot above? Queen Anne Lace-6352-Edit (leica-users.org) <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/misc/m/Queen+Anne+Lace-6352-Edit.jpg.html> Of course, all three of these shots are reduced in size JPEGs for posting on the web.
