You are right. It is too grey. It was an open air gig but they used smoke machines so I wanted to stay as close to the mood as possible.

There was some confusion in yesterday’s livestream on the question if focus peaking works on manual lenses. It does but you need to activate it in the A menu and assign it to a button. It also works on Oly lenses that have the MF clutch without taking the route via the super control panel. Just test...

What a wondrous creature. Colours look great. Maybe a smaller aperture for more dof.
Macro is hard and low to the floor work, which is why I don’t do it.

maybe this could be an example

Great article and ditto videos, Rick.

I like the light on the first one, hence I suggest you crop some of the foreground. The rock really deserves the attention.

Thanks Rik,

Coming from a professional photographer I consider this a great compliment.
