Hello Walter, Gorgeous Butterfly Shots! They are wonderful scenes and wonderful moments. I'll be sharing them with my niece today, she's a big lover of Butterflies - Taking her State High School Achievement Exam & her early College Entrance Exam this week (ACT for those in the know) - and could use a stress reliever. :-) Really, Walter - Stunning. I would theorize a quibling macro shooting expert might take exception with your aperture choices or placement of your plane of focus, maybe, but I don't and think an 'expert' might not. Photography in the wild is about the possible and the available not the perfect or most desirable. :-) As far as the new Pana cameras, I'd agree that an essentially 'same' sensor would limit the appeal of an upgrade at this point, but I would theorize that things like potentially improved interfaces and maybe a better jpeg engine could sway some buyers. I'm just a 'Scorpio' thru and thru and almost always see the both sides of arguments and the world in shades of grey on every thing except my core values. :-) Terrific Walk You Took! Keep Em Up - They're good for your Photography and your heart. :-) Richard ________________________________ From: Walter Kramer <walter.kramer@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: leicareflex@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tue, March 9, 2010 6:49:29 AM Subject: [LRflex] Some Foveon Colour Went for a walk today and got these. I am not a macro shooter and have no idea how to shoot macro but I thought people would be interested in seeing some results using the Sigma SD14 and the Leica 35-70mm switched to macro mode. All hand held on a very windy day but these are posted for colour as a comparison to Bayer sensors. BTW. From what I gather concerning the new Pana G2 and G10 the sensor is the same but the software has been upgraded. From a shooters point of view, ie., you don't care about video, it does not seem that the G2/10 will be much of an improvement on the G1. I am waiting for Pana to release a camera with their new sensor ... Maybe Leica will be involve with this. http://www.flickr.com/photos/25126059@N02/4419821470/sizes/l/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/25126059@N02/4419820934/sizes/l/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/25126059@N02/4419054685/sizes/l/ Cheers -- Walter Krämer ------ Unsubscribe or change to/from Digest Mode at: http://www.lrflex.furnfeather.net/ Archives are at: //www.freelists.org/archives/leicareflex/
