Deliberate anti-social activity including personal insults, profanity, pornography, racism, threats and purposely inflammatory posts may result in suspension of forum access or possibly a permanent ban from GSR.

    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

My choice, when I put in for this in January the thought was to visit the Son in Florida, Covid 19 blew that plan but with 22 Vacation days coming this year I went ahead and took the time.
 
Seems to be something of a pansy challenge in recent week or so here.

GX1, 45mm f1.8 w/ 16mm extension, so regular pansy about fills frame.

And that is about as close as could focus with that setup. Backed out just a little to get all in frame.
Was hoping for a little sharper.

I am assuming the speckles are pollen.


Maybe some of the gearheads on the forum are talking about the pansy.

So, about 1.5 pansies with that setup. ;)

Looks pretty good.
Nice detail in the flower center. Maybe just a little soft because ISO 3200? Might have been a little sharper at 1600 or 800...might.
