war Posted June 30, 2016 Share #125 Posted June 30, 2016 Carpobrotus edulis, Chorão, Cabo da Roca_1600.jpg So, what is the verdict? I like it left in. Please tell me more about this photo. I'm new to Q and not getting good Macro's. Did you crop this image? Any other PP? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other PP? I did not crop the image, as far as I remember I just might have adjusted the brightness, or maybe not even that. To post in my site I always add a very tiny black frame, almost invisible, just to make a border between the blank page and the pic, specially in BW or light colors. The point is with the Q files don't need adjusting most of the time. I put on full automatic mode most of the time, ideal for unexpected shots and for the macros it depends on the situation but I try full auto mode first (I am becoming lazy with age and Q results on auto mode pushes me that way) and only manual if the result is not what I intended it should be. I have always been an inconditional of manual mode, in my D800 and D600 never use any other, but with the Q the results are so good that I allow myself more and more to it.

Thank you, this is helpful. I too have always shot manual, perhaps I should quit interfering and let the Q do it's job. Your results are terrific, Thanks again Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leica Guy Posted July 5, 2016 Share #130 Posted July 5, 2016 I love photographing little flying things with the Q. The remote control and shutter work especially well when the camera is on a tripod and in front of a hummingbird feeder. Welcome, dear visitor!

Leica Guy Posted July 7, 2016 Share #131 Posted July 7, 2016 I recently completed a macro photography workshop focused on reptiles and frogs. Here are a few shots with the Q. I used a Canon MR-14EX Ring Flash mounted to the front of the Q and in manual mode usually around 1/16 power. f/16 at 1/500 of a sec. shutter speed. ISO 100. Welcome, dear visitor!

Popular Post Leica Guy Posted July 7, 2016 Popular Post Share #132 Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) One more. A Red Eye Tree Frog. From the Amazon I'm told. I found the Q in macro mode and shooting in continues at medium speed was very effective for the moving critters. The flash at 1/16 power could recycle within the time between shots and I captured many good images as a result. Although my main camera was a Canon 5D3 with a 50mm macro lens. I found that I far enjoyed the Q over it because of the very slow focus of the Canon 50mm lens. It has a moveable front element that can take several seconds or more to lock focus. The Q was almost instantaneous. The one drawback of the Q is I could not get as close as I could with the Canon macro setup. That makes the final images on the Q somewhat less resolution than the Canon. It's all a bunch of tradeoffs and I'm happy overall with the results. Any other frog photographers out there with your Q? I purposely left the ring flash highlight in the eye so you could see the result of that setup. I usually remove that in photoshop. Welcome, dear visitor!

biglouis Posted July 10, 2016 Share #134 Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) I am a bit surprised at how good the macro capabilities are on the Q. It shouldn't be this good, should it?

L1010574.jpg A fantastic photo. Congrats. Yes, they are that good. I took close to 1800 macro shots at the frog workshop. The Q is a joy to use in macro mode. http://www.danoldfieldphotography.com/Gorgeous-Galleries/Nature-Nature/Frog-and-Reptile-Macro/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighlandLeica Posted July 12, 2016 Share #136 Posted July 12, 2016 The macro setting does yield some beautiful results as has been demonstrated on this thread. Here are one or two close-ups of bumble bees - not great DOF control on my part, but the clarity in the insect is clear. Welcome, dear visitor!

David Dennis Posted July 24, 2016 Share #140 Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) To Q or not to Q, that is the question ... and this is part of the answer, shot by the Leica Store Miami's demo Q. They let me take it outside and play with it, and I got my very first Q macro shots ... including this one (cropped). This was a cactus that was part of a flower arrangement on a small outside table at a restaurant. My own Q will be coming soon enough ... .
