jtharvie Posted August 21, 2006 Share #1 Posted August 21, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just received my new Lumix close-up lens for the LC-1. This was shot RAW with full extension of the Lens (90mm equiv). This is going to be fun! I have some thisle that I think will be interesting as it flowers and then seeds. Very little Photoshop to this USM, Save for Web, contrast / highlight adjusted slightly. Cheers, JTH Welcome, dear visitor!

wda Posted August 22, 2006 Share #3 Posted August 22, 2006 John you will have a lot of pleasure with your close up photography. The cat picture is more successful from a focusing angle. The tomatoes have second place to the stems. I have found that focusing at close range is tricky with any camera, film or digital. There is very little latitude for error.

jtharvie Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share #4 Posted August 22, 2006 Thanks David, Yes it will take a bit of trial and lots of error but what fun. I think I might get better control using the spot meter / auto focus combo. Any tips are greatly appreciated. Cheers, JTH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted August 22, 2006 Share #5 Posted August 22, 2006 John, Is this the Elpro? Looks like you will have lots of (indoor) fun when those Nor' Easters start blowing through! I have been looking for one on eBay. Keep posting.... Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtharvie Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted August 23, 2006 Hi Pete, No this was taken with the Lumix Close-up Lens purchased through the Panasonic Canada Website. It came to $158.00 Canadian. Part # DMWLC69. Try the Panasonic UK site and use the Contact Us link. Cheers, JTH PS. I am on the Prairie about 1000km from any Nor'Easters . . . all our wind comes from Hudson's Bay . . . really cold and hard! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted August 23, 2006 Share #7 Posted August 23, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) John, apart from the cold wind (sorry!) I have a further hint. For macro with the D2 I manually set the focus to the closest range relative to the object. Then I inch myself backward and forward until the critical plane of sharp focus is reached. It is fiddly, but I get better results than using the AF in these situations. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted August 23, 2006 Share #8 Posted August 23, 2006 John, I forgot to add that the technique described was that used for my picture Blackberries (this forum). I took about three RAW shots to ensure one was sharp. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtharvie Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share #9 Posted August 23, 2006 Thanks David, Yes, I liked the Blackberries photo and meant to comment as such. I shall try your technique on the thisle this weekend. Cheers, JTH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Yes, David, this is the same way I am doing it with my Digilux 2, no matter if with a close-up lens or without one. Best regards, Peter.
