More close-up/macro Z1012 pictures

[grywolf627]

At my work, we've started a small photo club. Over the weekend, three of us went out to the botanical garden that my wife and I frequent. My boss brought his Canon 1D and his expensive macro L lens, another brought his Oylmpus DSLR...and there I was with my trusty Kodak Z1012, as I've yet to order my Canon Rebel. So we decided to try to replicate each others shots. I have to say, we were all (even me) surprised with the results from the Kodak when stacked against the others. It's just my Kodak and my cheap Opteka close-up filters, with only a small amount of post-processing (a little bit of clarity boost and some selective noise removal). But since I had the close-up filters (mainly used the +2 and +4) I was able to get some nice tightly framed shots. Here's just a few of the results. Don't under estimate what this little camera can do!!!

These shots are just AMAZING! I love the last one. This just makes me even more excited and I want my Z1012 NOW. (Getting it next week.)

Thanks! The Z1012 is a great camera. And with some attachments, you can get some really spectacular results. I recently got a Canon DSLR and I'm shooting mainly with that now (can't post those pictures in this subforum ), but I'll never get rid of my Z1012! It's my trusty backup camera now.
