Full On Daisy by rosiekerr

Full On Daisy

I love the symmetry of a top-down flower shot. Hence, this daisy. Spotted at the Missouri Botanical Garden. For some reason, this image feels like a black hole, magically photographed by many earth cameras, published by NASA today. https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/chandra/news/black-hole-image-makes-history

As one of the scientists commented, "what a time to be alive."

It may be a South African daisy, but I can't swear to this.

Thanks for visiting. :)
beautiful!

Curious who did you get so much in focus at 2.8 ?
April 11th, 2019  
@lesip I shot from directly above. Plus, my Olympus has a 4/3 sensor - it is not a full frame camera. A 60 mm lens on a Micro 4/3 camera is kind of like a 120mm lens on a full frame.

Here is an equivalency chart: "So despite having used a bigger physical aperture, the DEPTH-OF-FIELD is the same. Why? Because you have to use a shorter focal length to achieve the same result. So a 150mm f/2.8 (on MFT) is equivalent to a 200mm f/4 (on APS-C) is equivalent to a 300mm f/5.6 (on FF). Thus the equivalent full format aperture in our example is therefore ... f/5.6."

I do think about changing out my camera system, as this one ages, but the FF cameras have much heavier lenses and I am kind of fond of traveling light. Time will tell. :)

my first thought - In your face daisy. Nice how the flower almost fills the frame.

great details, well suited for a square crop

@rosiekerr -- that's technical beyond my brain capacity! And yes, FF is waaaaaaayyyyy too heavy! I do like this full-on top-down flower capture!

Well captured -- great DoF!
