Just for kicks

I finally got around to shooting some Queen Anne's Lace I had sitting around for months.  I used the Q3 in Macro mode on a tripod and took 7 shots to stack for depth of field.  F9.0, ISO 200,  0.4 sec. Of course, the "Macro" mode is not that close so I knew I would have to crop a lot.

The first shot is uncropped.

The interesting part was on the right, where I had focused, so I cropped it down quite a bit.

Now for the "Just for Kicks" part.  I hooked my Leica 100/2.8 APO with Elpro for 1:1 on my Nikon Z7ii and shot the same area.  I know it is not a Q3 shot, and I know it was not really a fair competition, but here it is.  View them both large if you like, to see the comparison.

so I am wondering.....  If you did not see the Leica Macro lens shot, what do you think about the Q3 cropped shot?  Is it acceptable?  I know I cannot print it as large as the 100/2.8 shot as it is already cropped a bunch, but I was still impressed.

I would be the last to claim that I have no need for my Canon R6 in some circumstances, and the only thing I really find better in the Nikon shot is the blacker background. But the Leica version might be made quite similar with a bit of work.

Hi David, here's another view. Surely some kind of alloy.

Thanks! That’s a very interesting builiding, even not taking into account your imaginative angle!

Best, David

My neighbor just back from her morning walk.  Had our first appreciable snowfall yesterday.  Mostly gone today but icy.  On today's walk she fell and broke her wrist.

Be careful out there.

Also on our walk yesterday.  The tilt screen of the Q3 came in handy for this one.
