Thanks, Peter! I do agree, but since it was my only shot I was positively surprised that separation worked at all given the distance to the subject.  Normally f1.4 is not an option for me because ...

Thanks a lot, Nic, for your thoughtful comment - I absolutely do see what you mean. Would it astound you to know that indeed they are younger to older from left to right, but that the age ...

Indeed, Dean, and that was my reason to post it here - the overall photographic merits of the picture can be discussed separately ... ;-) Separation works good even with that distance IMO, and here ...

This is not about sharpness - how can it be, with the Samyang 85/1.4 fully open on the K-1 at ISO 6400? But I do like how even at that distance the Samyang's f1.4 allows for a nice background ...

We do. I was just uncertain about if you gave an opinion about the pics at all, and my interpretation that you didn't like them may have been wrong. Well, I've learned a lot in forums so far ... I ...

Thanks! It's indeed one ... Do share them! :) Main thing is that you had fun and saw some nice wildlife in the sea! Phil

Well, I gather you don't like my results too much (correct me, if I'm wrong). That's okay, I'm here to learn - and good to know that tails & profiles of those fishes are not to go for. But ...

Indeed - I've worked with all that (including macro rails) and with all sorts of lighting setups. For best results definitely the way to go. Thanks, but I guess it's the TG-5 that has done well ...

Thanks very much, Loraine! Can imagine - the TG's microscope mode seems to be very capable and easy to handle indeed, compared to my usual "big" macro setup. Phil

Very nice pictures in all three posts. Especially like the interior detail in the first one. Thanks for sharing Phil

Thanks very much! Indeed. Second that. Great one, Nick! Thanks for sharing. Phil

Used the microscope mode of the TG-5 today in a local garden plot. I used the FD-1 flash diffuser for fill light on all single shots presented here, but not on those where I used focus bracketing ...

I checked it, and you're absolutely right - thanks a lot! Thanks! I do wish you luck! The one thing I learned from my results is that zooming under water is not that good an idea; contrast and ...

Glad to! Thanks for looking. Got several keepers from this really gigantic swarm ... I used UW1 and got good results with it - I think the really bright Mediterranean sun allowed for short shutter ...

And thanks  very much for your comment - glad you like the pics! Phil

Indeed it does. :-) Thanks very much for your kind comment! Phil

Took my new TG-5 with me on my vacation at Majorca this June and had the opportunity to do some snorkeling with it at some coasts and beaches of the north. I do know that the small sensor has its ...

I just did some photography for a local church belonging to an Old Catholic Communion (separated from the Roman Catholic Communions following the First Vatican Council in 1870, in protest of some ...

The "Tamron SP AF Di 90mm 1:2.8 Macro 55" - an AF version optimized for digital. Indeed the back coating helps. My version also allows for very precise manual focusing - it has a very long focus throw.

The Tamron definitely delivers and hasn't let me down yet, neither on APS-C nor on FF. Thanks for you kind comment! Phil
