Interesting floser. I have never heard of it. I like the DOF chosen, and the placement of the brown bits on the stems. Dave On Sat, Jun 6, 2009 at 8:44 AM, Boris Libermanbori...@gmail.com wrote: Hi! Though I am more than 1000 unread messages behind, I'd risk posting another PESO. Later on I

Thanks Bob. All there were shot hand held. I had to dial up ISO 400 to ensure fast enough shutter speed given the weather conditions. As for Galia's shot - I only ask Galia to look for what she thinks looks beautiful. When I see that she has attained (achieved?) certain level, we will move

Igor, it is known fact that when focusing FA 100/3.5 and its siblings, the whole lens assembly is in motion. That is, all glass pieces move together. This is very interesting, though it seems that toward macro range the lens is changing its focal length. I am saying so because I observe that

Boris, All the macro lenses change focal lengths as you focus them. You can get around this with a bellows and rack on a tripod. You set the focal length/field of view you want, and then crank the whole lens/bellows/camera back forth on the rack. It's clumsy, but allows a very precise framing.

Boris, Maybe we can get Frank to pedal out and take some pictures of flower petals. :-) I understand about Galia learning photography step by step, but I would mention the faded petal. It isn't so much a photo thing as a nature, biological process, faded beauty thing. Regards, Bob S. On Sun,

Boris, Yes, I find that all macro lenses and macro filters decrease DOF. The higher the magnification, the shallower the DOF. (As Bob mentioned, - bellows is a solution, but I have never tried that myself.) I usually try to close down the aperture to enhance DOF. For many shots I am using F-DA

Boris, Nice job on the Raspberry flower. It is a pleasing composition and lots of detail is in focus. Hard to do! The second shot of the fruit itself is technically fine, but not so exciting. It does convey a sense of fullness of the berry. The best part of Galia's photo is how the two blossoms
