I am doing a project at the moment that involves looking through all the close-ups I have made in the past 12 years with various camera models and formats. It is a long job and along the way I am stopping off from time to time to reprocess a few of them to see how they look with my current post processing workflow. Here are some I reprocessed yesterday.
The raw files were batch processed in DXO PhotoLab, Silkypix and Lightroom, with image-specific adjustments in Lightroom. There are larger versions in this album at Flickr.
The first six are from July 2013 and the other two from May 2014. They were all captured with an FZ200 small sensor bridge camera and Raynox 150 close-up lens. The first three and last two, which were captured in our garden, used a single, hot-shoe mounted flash. The other three, which were captured at two local nature reserves, used available light and at 1/13, 1/10 and 1/4 sec I must have used a tripod for those three, but I probably did them "tripod-assisted", with my hands on the camera, rather than hands-off with a remote or delayed shutter release, which is something that I rarely do. The flash shots were quite likely tripod-assisted too, especially the first three as they were fairly slow, two at 1/60 sec and one at 1/80 sec. The camera will sync flash at upwards of 1/2000 sec, and I often use that sort of shutter speed with flash so as to avoid all possibility of available light ghosting. These would have been done slower in order avoid black backgrounds, that I'm not keen on.
