Kale Repost - Provia

[Laurence]

As requested, a better scan and all around better image than
posted before. I took the liberty of cropping it as well, in order to
have the background stems add some balance and interest to the image.

Not for a "beauty shot", but I sure do love the way Provia renders the
very accurate colors of this leaf.

Even better than the already good previous version.

Beautiful, Laurence, like the crop, too.

Thanks guys. There IS more detail...but now I don't really love the depth
of field. I guess I'm hard to please!

I'm going to find some more Kale, just because I DO like those colors,
and stop down some more, perhaps to f:11, as the medium format
lenses seem to have very limited DOF.

It SEEMS like a shot with the 120/4 Macro has less depth of field than
the Vivitar Series 1 90/2.5 macro at f:4. I dusted off the Vivitar
and took a similar shot of this same subject at f:4 and there is
evidently a deeper DOF. I can see the deeper DOF after a scan of the
35mm slide from the Vivitar; however, my scanner is total crap in
scanning 35mm and the image looks like a train wreck.

I guess that's really redundant to this topic anyway, since there are so
many variables between the two formats, let alone the variables from
different lenses. Sometimes I get WAY off track. I mean, what the
HELL am I talking about?

The next sentence is REALLY all I needed to say on this post.

I'll try a couple of different f:stops in the F:8 - f:22 range.

It's ALL fun!
