Re: anybody tried focus stacking

I haven’t tried it yet gio67 but I’ve been meaning to give it go at some point, I wanted to get a good focus rack plate first to have that option as well if refocusing didn’t work as good as I expected, or to have that as a backup option. I have been informed that some lenses change magnification a...

anybody tried focus stacking

here is my first attempt, it really is easy, I used a free stacker called Zerene, this is 11 images focused at different points then stacked together for great depth of field, sorry about the model but I was reading about this stuff last night at around 1 am and decided to give it a try there and th...

Re: my favourite shot from Majorca last week

It looks as if they are following the X on a treasure map. You did capture the notion of them stepping into the world on their own very well. it was a lucky one M, not one part of it planned,just point and shoot I can't speak to the technicalities but as a memory shot it is right on the money. :) S...

Re: Zeiss Vario-Tessar T * E 16-70mm F4 ZA OSS for NEX APS-C

I have the CZ 16-80 and if this new NEX lens is anything like it I would jump on it for landscaping and everyday use. I really like the results of the CZ16-80. Don't have a NEX anymore though. same here, that is still my favourite lens , I suppose if it does arrive in the emount it will be big and ...

my favourite shot from Majorca last week

the sony nex 6, I think the 16-50 lens, rubbish technically, just my three 5yr old grandchildren, twin boys and their cousin going for early breakfast, I really like it, for some reason they seem older than their years and in control of their own destiny, ha ha just wish I'd had got more of their sh...

Re: Flowers 2013

Yes the Dahlia is a pretty flower and growing nicely, I wish all the Rose plants here (in 4 separate pots) would flower, so far only one consistently produces flowers, the others have just been growing new shoots since I tried to resurrect them, time will tell I guess. The 35 seems a good lens gio6...

Re: Flowers 2013

Lovely flower Gio67 and a very pleasing background. thanks Birma, the sony 35mm 1.8 seems to give a really pleasant bokeh, these are all taken with the nex 6, I,ve hardly touched the a580 since I got it, and even more, I am going on holiday next week and taking the nex 6 and nex 5n as a backup, and...

Re: Flowers 2013

What are those last ones Sury? (I can't spot the cat either in the ones before...yet) Greg, I think the cat Geo67 mentioned is in the image below. I tried to cut it out to the best of my ability. Sury, I apologize beforehand for manipulating the photo to outline the cat. I hope you don't mind. I'll...

Re: Flowers 2013

Hi Geo67, :) I think I know what you mean by the cat silhouette. After searching for a little while, I found that there actually is a sitting cat with its ears popped up strikingly. A subtle implication but it definitely is there. Maybe in time even Sury will see it. :D Yildiz that's the one Yildiz...
