The sheer joy of getting a macro shot in focus. I am using an old sigma macro lens from 30 years ago. There is no digital coating on the lens. So flare sensitivity is clear. I don't like flashes in macro so this was taken at high ISO. A lot of noise. Well, whatever. It was a nice walk in the wet forest.
Sony A7RIV
EX 150mm f2.8 macro
...you are a lot more technical than I am.
ReplyDeleteTom, I was once a gear fan. So, I would not want to meet myself from these years. A lot of keyboard warriors I used to enjoy arguing with on photography fora turned out to be mediocre photo takers. I do not see the point arguing with these people anymore. Life is too short
DeleteWell that's a nice one anyway, love Macro shots.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Margaret. Life is simpler just to appreciate it :)
DeleteI'd rather have a bit of noise that I can deal with than funky lighting. This is a great shot!.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill. What is tricky is Sony CMOS sensor has a colour profile which does not do well with blue hue. Sometimes a neon type colour comes through in the shadow areas. It is problematic.
DeleteLovely macro shot and noise only add atmosphere to a photo like grain in the older days.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment. I like a particular type of film grains which are not often appreciated on the blogsphere. So, I don't share that type of images anymore. Good to know I am not alone!
DeleteThis is beautiful! I used to use my macro lens a lot.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened that macro lens is no longer a popular choice? I ditched the macro lens and kept this antique lens from the dinosaur era lol
DeleteThat is simply amazing :-D
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ananka. It feels like a little fairy world photographying it
DeleteEs muy bonita. Saludos.
