hired goon Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 I dropped by St. Stephen's Cathedral on my lunchtime walk the other day: Nikon D750 + Nikkor 20mm lens @ f/1.8, 1/100sec, ISO 400, hand-held. Next time I'm hoping to get of someone praying in the pews (much closer than the one above) or someone walking down the aisle. --Geoff 6
Spearmint Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 I headed into Melbourne yesterday to pick up a new body and while there decided to check it out before heading home #1 The sun reflecting off the Eureka Tower through remnants of fog Yesterday in the afternoon, and hopefully very soon this morning I'll be out with my usual macro gear trying to photograph Native Orchids. Last weekend was my first outing, not only trying to find them, but also photograph them. Some are so tiny its hard to make out their detail with the naked eye. They are seriously doing my head in. Unlike fungi, even the very tiny ones I can focus stack to get the DOF I require. The slightest of a breeze these orchids are moving ever so slightly, so not only is DOF an issue, trying to photograph them in focus is also. The larger (although still small) orchids which are currently in flower are relatively easy, even auto focus can latch on and track them, and the slightest of breeze doesn't affect them the same. A few of my efforts from yesterday #2 #3 #4 6
awty Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 The things you find in the bush aye.... A tree having a lay down. Why. The bush is no place to be after sunset, seriously hard to fin your way back. Scream! 6
soundbyte Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Richard, nice to see photos from some one with similar interests. We visited Scott Conservation Park yesterday and we found this Pterostylis.

We visited Scott Conservation Park yesterday and we found this Pterostylis. I'm only a newbie photographing Native Orchids. One of the things I found reasonably quickly was asking for guidance via a number of on line resources was basically a waste of time. Viewing a number of images online particularly the very tiny ones like Mosquito Orchids, they tend to photograph much of the stem with multiple flowers, where I was trying to photograph just one or two flowers. Like many hobbies there are a number of people with tickets on themselves too interested in blowing their own trumpet instead of some basic guidance. One of the things I was trying to find out what was the most popular camera/lens combo. With the recent sales I was contemplating going m4/3 Olympus OM-D EM-1 mk11 with 60mm macro lens or the 1" Sensor Panasonic LZ2500. However getting little in the way of info from photographers who've apparently been photographing Native flowers for sometime, I have taken a punt and will hopefully put together a suitable system over the coming months.
soundbyte Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 @Spearmint Perhaps we might take this discussion to PM's? Too much off topic otherwise.
