The old CoolPix 4500 is a brilliant camera in terms of a compact with fixed lens, but I think some of the ridiculously detailed photos you see on other websites are achieved using DSLR cameras with macro lenses and extension tubes + processing through clever stacking software packages (shots at differing DOF overlaid to give the full detail). All way beyond me but I'm happy with (most) of the shots I get at the moment. I also have a Lumix FZ45 which I use when out and about which is great in most repects but the macro zoom is very noisy (like the Small Ranunculus larvae shots).Skevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05601888498478097564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246763419709722582.post-63401744933165483142011-07-27T09:31:31.085+01:002011-07-27T09:31:31.085+01:00Hi Mark- Your coolpix and light rig certainly give...Hi Mark- Your coolpix and light rig certainly gives you a good depth of field to your very clear images. I use a lumix TZ12 and have mixed results. Conditions have to be perfect for a really good shot. I often wonder what equipment is used for really detailed micro moth shots- as it's just not possible with my camera..Broom Birderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09474943033132623669noreply@blogger.com
