The GRD4 is my choice for a macro/close up camera. Why? Because it's in my pocket all the time....I mean in my Pajamas at night also....

Nice photos Don.
#1 is my favorite

Mine GRD is close by all the time too.
+1 on #1

Don, #1 is awesome! #2 rises more questions and makes me think much more. Can you please post some details about #2 process including exifs? Thanks.

Don, great photographs, especially No. 1.

Cheers

For Albert

Here's the image with attached exif.


I use LR 4 for processing and Nik Silver Effex. I am working on presets for the GRD4 and have 3 about finished. I'm trying to maintain a certain look regardless of subject matter. That's not to mean like a canned look but there's something in my head that this camera can extract. When that happens, one must rise to the occasion. I'm trying even tho' the GXR's are getting impatient.

also a fan of #1

 

[AlbertTRAL]

Thanks Don...but I was wondering at which iso was taken #2 to reach that super grainy output. Have you underexposed and after overexpose in LR at the same level to reach above iso 3200, forcing the final iso output in a similar way as we did with film? (I suppose your actual limit by menu)...the photo seems growing seeds inside a greenhouse probably with a slight lack of available light...

Albert, here's the file with the exif.
Any questions, please ask.... Don


Ok, I've done this 100 times over the weekend. I can upload and post any horz image. This vert will not work.
Any ideas????

To how many pixels high have you resized your image? The max for height is 800 (I think). This may be the problem :?:

 

[streetshooter]

Thanks Athena. It's a confusing system but I will try it later when I get home.
I think we need to send Pavel in for a firmware update.

Hats doffed to the Don, Don.

 

[streetshooter]

Thanks Pete. I may be a Don around here but when I get home, da wife wants to know why I didn't take the trash out.

 

[AlbertTRAL]

Thanks Don. I have seen that has been shot at iso1600 so I suppose that the grain has been introduced in the PP.

 

[streetshooter]

Albert, here's the image with exif.
The file was PP'd in LR4 and Nik Silver Efex. I am still working on presets for the GRD4. I want to maintain a certain feeling with the work I do with this camera....


Thanks to Pavel and Athena for putting my sanity back in place....
Don
