Very nice DM! Impressive and sharp shots. I really like the 1st and 3rd images.

Do you recall the settings that you used?

Cheers,

Thanks! That last shot is my fav too.

I used P mode, Auto ISO 400, DR 400, in macro mode of course. I used the macro trick, using the macro "sweet spot" focal length of 55mm (f/4.9) in order to isolate the subject.

Ha! I was thinking that the background on your shots here were nicely blurred, and almost asked you if you had used the "pro focus" mode. But you answered that for me!

I better read all of his F70 blog entries, as I missed that nugget! And thanks to Altruisto for discovering it initially. And thanks to you for pointing it out to me! f4.9, f4.9, f4.9... done - in the 'noggin now!

Cheers,

I have messed with Pro Focus in some past shots...I didn't even think about it here, totally spur of the moment. The camera did the bokeh magic for me! :D
