Re: PESO: Shroom

Thanks, Paul. The red backdrop was added because the first shot looked a bit dull. Oriental? Hmmm. I'll have to think about that. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery * On Sat, Jun 13, 2020 at 7:41 PM Paul Sorenson wrote: > Very nice.

Very nice.  I like the use of the red background color.  The image has and "oriental" look to it. On 6/13/2020 12:55 PM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: Another attempt at a natural abstract. http://dan-matyola.squarespace.com/danmatyolas-pesos/2020/6/13/shroom K-5 IIs, smc FA 100 mm Macro F 2.8,

One step forward, two steps back

About a year ago I got a real good deal on a couple or 32" 4K monitors. At the time I couldn't install the one for my Photoshop computer because the video card maxed out at 2K. I finally got a video card that will handle 4K and yesterday I installed it & set up the new monitor. Everything

Re: GESO: Anthers

Thanks, David. I think that is the most "traditional" of the three shots. Originally, I was trying todecide between the other two for a PESO, and would up instead adding the second shot and making it a mini-GESO. As I said, I was playing around with the concept of making abstracts out of flower

Re: Does the teleconverter help?

Igor, I did a lot of tests too. The TC shots were always inferior to the cropped shots without TC. I only have consumer lenses so I can't comment on how a TC performs with Limited or Star lenses. Paul's bird images with the D-FA 150-450 with 1.4x TC (=630mm) are so good which seems to suggest
