biglouis Posted August 16, 2009 Share #1 Posted August 16, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) M8 Macro Elmar-M 90/4 iso320 f4 1/180 - I'm wondering whether to use a monopod when shooting with the Elmar, its sharp but I still get the feeling it not really sharp.

StFreud Posted August 16, 2009 Share #2 Posted August 16, 2009 I like the color, sharpness and details. Stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michali Posted August 16, 2009 Share #3 Posted August 16, 2009 Louis- This is very good. I wonder if it wouldn't be sharper if shot @ ISO160? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Alfy Posted August 16, 2009 Share #4 Posted August 16, 2009 Very nice composition and colors Louis. When shooting hand-held for still subjects, I systematically use the 2s selftimer. It avoids pressing the switch and moving the camera during the capture: no shake, and the horizon remains level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted August 17, 2009 Share #8 Posted August 17, 2009 Big - Beautiful for composition, detail, color and light. The only lack of sharpness appears to be depth of field related. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

biglouis Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share #10 Posted August 17, 2009 Thanks for the all the responses. The 90/4 Elmar is a remarkable lens for its size. LouisB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Philpotts Posted August 17, 2009 Share #11 Posted August 17, 2009 Louis - This one is great, I think your image looks fine. I agree with Stuart's comment about sharpness and dof. When I get unsatisfactory sharpness in a flower picture it is usually caused by subject movement. Most flowers will move around in the slightest breeze. I sometimes borrow a couple of orchid clips from the head gardener. These clips are like miniature hair grips and they hold the stem firmly against a thin stick while I am working. It sometimes helps and there is no damage to the plant. Best regards Alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
