If you’re sure the camera is going to take a bath, then buy either the Olympus1030SW or the Pentax Optio W60.
Dusty, I think the difference between the “macro” lenses in say the Canon line is mostly angle of view–the 180mm only 14 degrees and 50mm being around 45 degrees. They all allow close up focusing within inches of one another and the subject (certainly 1-1.5 feet; some 3-4 inches) and life size or near life size magnification (.5-1x), but they also focus to infinity which allows them to be used for general or portrait photography. Quality and lens characteristics also varies.
The exception is the MP-E 65 which is a special critter.
Someone slap me upside the head if I’m wrong.
Lauren and Zach- you piqued my curiosity …
you mentioned- ” the waders are now five-layer in the front, four-layer everywhere else” . Is the butt reinforced as well?
is that 5 layers knee/shin
John, just zoom the lens. Pretty simple. This is one I just took out the window at about 30/sec. I started zooming as quick as I could before I pressed the shutter.
Tripod and slower shutter might give you better results. High f stop may leave more of the center in focus, or much slower shutter speed and less zoom.
Perhaps someone here will have some better examples of this.
Here’s another one. Really nice way to pick out shapes and colors and get rid of cruddy background. Very different results with every attempt.
What exactly did you do and what tool did you use?
Nomad, in Lightroom I reduced the highlights and increased the blacks slightly. Don’t know if there is a way to do that selectively in Lightroom. I’ll have to play with it some more in photoshop when I get time.
Thanks, Chad for the note on the corner. I’ll have to work on it some more and post when I’m back at my computer.
Thanks for the comments, all. I put up a revised version above incorporating suggestions. Enough? More?
I had been shooting in the shadows with 100mm macro, at 800 ISO. When I moved out into the light I got this scene and just in time to get it before the other boat moved and everything changed. So it was shot at 800 ISO. If I had been on my toes, I would have dropped the ISO down and had a better image to work with.
Will, here are some detail shots of my boat:
From the bottom up, outside gunwale, 1/4 sapele ply side panel (5 layer ply), filler block of the transom knee, sheer rail (just visible).
