Gills
NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 20mm f/1.8 S @ 20 mm, 490 sec at f/13, ISO 1250
This is an up close and personal shot of that giant ghost mushroom we found a few weeks back. Here using the new Z 20mm f/.18 lens up very close. The minimum focusing distance of this lens is incredibly small – almost to the front element. Here I’ve shoved the camera on the ground and right up under the gills. Stopping down to f/13 to try and get some depth of field (it’s still not enough). This required a 490 second (8 mins+) exposure even at ISO 1250
Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.
To get an idea of how sharp this lens really is… The following is a 100% crop of a tiny area of the whole frame. This one was taken at f/2 (almost wide open) so the DoF drops off quite rapidly
