No problem with Macro mode x1 <-> x3 (zoom), but the last one needs to move back a little to frame the subject. On the other hand the "x3 bokeh" phenomenon is weaker, but you know well the issues.

I upgraded my Buster Debian's kernel (testing version) and X Window System (Xorg) exploded. No images on two monitors I use every day. Not thinking I've lost a lot of days searching for the cause. Only after downgrading kernel to Stretch (stable) I regained my system workable. D**n it! Before sleeping hours I managed upload two images commenting paulh's last post.

Have a nice Summer days!

Regards

Yeah, it was just a quick snap without much thought on composition

.

Good to see another 'nix user

At one point I was using the Debian-based LinuxMint rolling release version, but now have settled on the plain-vanilla ubuntu-based release.

OK, I confess. I might have taken some shots with a Panasonic TZ100. There. The secret is out. I feel liberated.

more here ...

That's the idea

Nice set of shots, too.

kyteflyer · 07-07-2018, 02:51 PM

I agree. I'm starting to think the 1" sensor is the ideal for those of us who don't print but who want a decent shot for online posting in forums etc.

Thanks Sue. Yes, its nice, but it looks like it can get out of control pretty quickly! (as Clarkey's photo illustrates!)
