Great capture Lee......you and your wife can be proud.I wasn't as close as he was ...
I actually handed the Merrill to my beloved who took this one, which was the best shot of the day ...

It's also the intent of the photographer, Uwe. I shot and processed them that way. Otherwise I might as well have used an "ordinary" camera.>Who said the DPM's aren't for portrait work!
For me they show too much detail. But this is also a matter of the image size on the web.
Exactly, if that is the effect you want. I do that frequently if the aim is a flattering portrait. The Merrills are particularly good at emphasising nooks and crannies in faces, which makes them the perfect choice where the opposite effect to the wedding portrait or glamour look is required.The vast majority of modern cameras have too much detail to be flattering to people, women in particular. That's where good Photoshop skills come in. Mask the face and retouch. I'd much rather have to reduce detail than try to work without it.
Then I must be a local as well :ROTFL:Exactly, if that is the effect you want. I do that frequently if the aim is a flattering portrait.

When I chose to use the DP2M and DP1M almost exclusively in Morocco, it was because I was looking for portable cameras with ruthless detail, both for the architecture and for the people. In that they excelled :thumbup: The local people wear their lives on their faces. I'm not interested in taking away some of that life.
I think it is marvelous! :thumbs:In case anyone has wondered what I am up to, I have been spending time organising shots from my recent trip to Morroco - Fes, and Chefchaouen.
Here are two from the trip, both taken with the DP2M
The first shot is of a leather worker in Fes Medina, and second a view of Chefchaouen.
The DP2M and DP1M were my main trip cameras.
