I have 2 release possibilities. The first is a simple cable release, the second a wireless shutter control in two parts (by Oppilas). Neither work on my GX9 as there is no socket for a jack. I ...

Thank you, Tom, for the explanation. I’m going to try it with Affinity Photo, which has an HSV mode. I’ve always liked your images processed this way but I’ll never get into GIMP!

IMHO, Photolab has an advantage if you have a low light raw file with too much noise. Otherwise concentrate on the overall image and get used to a more comprehensive raw developer and editor. DxO ...

That is such sad news. I live not far away from David (I recognised all the things and places he would photograph) and have for years cherished the thought that I might bump into him in Kingston ...

Thank you, Peter! I never knew that. Maggie

A totally brilliant thread! Now, how do I save it for future eference?

There is the Samyang 12mm f2. Manual and not tiny, but good IQ.

Yes, it has, Adrian. 4 segments and a gold-coloured pin, which should imply good quality. It works fine on my GX7 but I 'm curious about G1 incompatibility. My G1 is converted for infrared and I ...

I have a Pixel RC-201 remote shutter release. Should it work on my old G1? It doesn't release the shutter when pressed, and I'm wondering if this is a matter of having the wrong cable or something ...

I can’t speak to your theory, but I use a MFT camera fir my increasing interest in macro and am finding it performs excellently - for me. I don’t shoot insects but plants and the two requirements ...

Agreed. I’m a long time Adobe user who has taken an interest in DxO for the Prime and Deep Prime noise reductions. I don’t find it that easy to control, as the software simply takes over and I ...

Thank you for the advice, Niels! I’m getting all sorts of inputs about diffusers and have joined a facebook group on homemade ones. Until I know better, I’ve ordered a cheapie from Amazon, but ...

Thanks for checking my MP4 videos of mosses, Nick. I don’t know if it is a good thing or not that even you couldn’t make the stacks work. I’m now thinking about using flash and single frames ...

Nice one Ken! I haven't been brave enough to invert the centre column yet but I agree using the camera close to the ground with a tilt screen gives a much better composition than standing up. Maggie

Thank you David for confirming that my choice of the 30mm was a good one. As I’ve standardised on 58mm filters, I add a step-up ring which lives permanently on the lens, and acts in a small way as ...

Have a look at the Kaiser ring lights. They do two for different power levels. I have the smaller one which has the same advantage of acting as a support for the end of the lens, and despite it ...

I don't know what I did. I was sorting thumbnails in Bridge and accidentally clicked something near the top right corner of the screen, which immediately filled with thumbnail images and left no ...

Sorry for the delay: I'm having organisational problems with my Mac! The problems are making it difficult to browse the MP4 files to identify ones which behave as I described: and I think I should ...

Yes, the fritillary is a stack of a PostFocus video, which I'm using a lot. M

Apologies to you both, I wasn't very clear about what I said. You have both posted stacked images of subjects which are several inches high, and I have no problem with similar ones. As long as I ...
