Hibiscus with Panasonic G3


Recommended Posts

This Hibiscus grows at my front fence, along with a few more.

I have finally got the Panasonic G3 singing in my hands (or it certainly has got me singing for it :) )

I have nearly got focus right on these.

Single shots with Panasonic G3, with a Wollensak 1" f1.9 C-Mount lens.

The flower didn't fill the m4/3 sensor frame, close-up, so I made a 2mm thick washer to place between the C-Mount & the adapter & that allowed the flower to fill the frame nicely. The full 5mm thick C/CS adapter was too thick. This flower is about 6" / 150mm diameter.

Panasonic G3 converted, & with a Wollensak 1" f1.9 C-Mount lens, CWB with a Sigma Hot Mirror for visible light.

Camera settings, ISO 200, f11 at 1/20th seconds.

Panasonic G3 converted, & with a Wollensak 1" f1.9 C-Mount lens, CWB with a Baader U2 for UV light.

Camera settings, ISO 200, f3 at 8 seconds. Daylight was enhanced with a MTE 365nm flashlight, without the reflector.

 

Cheers

PS, I have checked out the aperture & bokeh & found that I had the aperture too wide open. At f8 the bokeh was much better.

Wow, there you go, Col !! Looking good.

This Hibiscus is a nice flower in UV.

 

If we don't have one of those already posted, why don't you work up a nice formal post for this flower sometime?
