Hi Dave -So Gerald,
Would you share some of the capture and processing detail? You obviously have an IR-like result. Did you filter during capture or was this all done in post? I've been wondering about either an achromatic or the Leica Monochrom, but am wondering about post color flexibility with the luminance-only data.

Very nice shot!!!I normally just post in the other thread, I've always felt unless there was an element of the capture made possible by the technical camera itself, the forum is about the MFDB. I'm far from an expert on technical camera technique so most of the images I shoot with the tech camera really have nothing unique about using one and could have easily been done with my DF. Finally I have one that does have something do with using the arca, I am actually beginning to get the hang of using tilt. I wasn't much of a live view fan when the IQ180 came out, but after adapting a variable neutral density filter that pops onto all my lenses very easily, and using a pair of 3.5 reading glasses, I've found it's quite manageable. every thing sharp in this from close flowers to the tops of the mountains (can't really tell that from this web jpeg), all in 1 shot.

Thank you Tom!Very striking Darr; would you be willing to describe your post processing for this image?
Tom
Thank you Tom!
The image was shot in the studio under diffused lighting. The size of the plant photographed is approximately 2" deep by 3" wide. It took 37 images at f/11 to get the depth of field I wanted. The images were then processed through Helicon Focus (HF). The HF processed image was brought into Lightroom (LR) where initial exposure and color adjustments were made. Then Topaz Clarity for contrast adjustment and Topaz ReStyle for color modification. Then back into LR for perspective and crop adjustments. Finally off to PS for slight diffusion via Color Efex.
