My wife and I saw a film on NetFlix called "Word and PIctures." In it, a writer and an artist at a private school were doing battle over which was more expressive: words or pictures. Some of the artists paintings looked like macro impressions of flow petals and I wondered if I might do something similar with a camera.
I tried a couple of experiments with the FZ200 and the LX100. I found that I could get very close at wide angle but that I could very much get in my own way, blocking the light, etc., by being so close.
Then I remembered that the actual (not e) focal length of the FZ200 at full zoom is 108mm.
Here are some telemacro shots taken about about 1 meter distance, handheld (all shots a jpegs run through the "I'm feeling luck" processor of Picasa:
24x:
48X:
96X:
The actual blossom measures about an inch across; the yellow part, roughly half an inch.
Cheers, Jock
