@contas: I like this last fuzzy guy. Any idea what it is?
@rtester: I most liked the first and last of the latest set. I like shots with the light coming *through* flowers.
I tend to shoot flowers with the Nikon 105mm macro or the Zeiss 21mm. The 105mm is not at all alternative, so doesn't fit with this thread.
A recent trip to Filoli Gardens (an old mansion opened to the public as gardens and museum) in the SF Bay area was shot about half and half with each lens. So, let me put up a few more with the 21mm.
I have to be really careful with the Nikon and intense reds as I blow out the red channel. The Zeiss seems to make it worse, if anything. I suppose that is good on the one hand as it means the lens is not "eating" the reds.
In any case, here are a few orange tulips. I had to use almost 2 stops of exposure offset to keep the red channel in bounds:

Flowers here don't usually get any context, but here's some tulips with a portion of the gardens visible:
http://davehoward.zenfolio.com/img/s3/v45/p162211228-5.jpg
And a few more red ones:

And one last one of some fruit tree flowering. I don't know which type of fruit.

Thanks UCphotog , I really donn't know about it either, but I meet it at many places around.The last one is really good, so detail, I think but need more highlight.I am also learning to manage with red color on Leica X1.

Contas, thanks.
By "more highlight," do you mean a bit brighter overall? Or something else?

Your pic need some light emphasized, so in PP let raise highlight bar it would be excellent I thought.

Well, not really flowers. But I guess "blossoms" are close enough?

Not much alt, as outdated camera.. you might guess if you want (but EXIF is still there).
Thought we might create "Low MPix love - alt gear" thread for all those old low mpix cameras.
(they do have one in Canon section of FM).Edited on Apr 08, 2012 at 04:04 PM · View previous versions
