I looked around the prints from the P5100 and the D200 and saw that the P5100 had in fact not focused at its sharpest where the brackets were set, but rather nearer. The end of the cucumber in the shot was the point where it focused best so here is a combined shot with the P5100 above and the D200 below.
I had already junked the jpegs so this is a scan from the two shots.
Hey, I was just going through comments from my old wordpress blog and you’d commented on my post, “Dirt,” right before I’d moved my blog (same reasons as you did, but I didn’t have the nerve to try out Wordpress.org, so thanks for your post - on your old blog - explaining it a bit. I just might download it and play around, as I am paying Typepad right now for what WP offers for free). Anyway, thanks for your comment, it made my day, especially “eat a peck of dirt before you die,” the new thing I’ll be saying to swaddling and mollycoddling souls who think kids should not get dirty!
I love your photos of the lady, below. Her face is beautiful!
Just got back, and thank you for the nice comment about the photos of the lady - she is very dear to me.
If you decide you would like to try wordpress and want some help - ask away!
