I have never owned an Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens (EVIL) camera until the folks at Sony came along and asked if I am interested to do a review of the Sony Nex C3.
I did have some hands on with the Olympus EP-3 (and EP-2) and the Fuji X-100 prior to this and was feeling quite good about comparing the Nex C3 to them.
That plan, however, went down the drain when I realized that all other big boys like DPreview and Digital Photographer School already wrote excellent reviews about the camera.
Therefore it was really pointless to write a matter of fact review and I decided to take a different angle when writing this entry.

But as with all my other venture into medium format photography, there is bound to be something faulty with the camera. I really hope that is not the case with this camera though at first glance the 80mm lens is not as clean i would have liked. Will need to send the lens to cleaning up the fungus soon.

Now that I am celebrating my graduation, i am ready to make my grand return to the world of medium format... less the digital back.

Ever since my first visit to the Singapore Garden Festival back in 2008, i told myself that i definitely should return to the event, which takes place once every two years. Back then, i went in with a Canon EOS 40D and EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L but this year, i downgraded then lens to a 50mm f/2.5 compact macro and upgraded the camera to Canon EOS 5D. Also in my camera bag was the recently-purchased ring light.

Just saw this on cyberspace. I highly doubt i will sell my Canon 5D and spend the rest of my life shooting with this setup, though it is an interesting thought to pair the iPhone4 with a macro lens for flower shooting. Hmmmmm. What do you think?

Ok moving on to the shooting part of focus stacking. The shot you see about actually consist of four different shots aligned and merged into one single shot, thanks to Adobe Photoshop CS4. Now let's look at the four photos, notice how each of them is focusing at a different spot:
