Pareto analysis, de Bono's lateral thinking, Root cause analysis, fishbone analysis, ..... Oh dear I fear all those management techniques are coming home to haunt me!

I've also started to twitch at the thought of them.

Well I still do relative scoring in a spreadsheet if I cant make what I deem to be a outright winner analysis.

When you are forced to look at individual items of value then sometimes it crystalises thoughts.


I havent actually purchased a Nikon V1 even though I have been near to bidding on one in eBay several times as I feel it really isnt right for me. That doesnt meant it doesnt have a place just that it isnt what I need or want.

I'm not sure if it is allowed to post in a thread, but I think this illustrates my point. D4, Sigma 180, ISO 400, handheld, natural (overcast) lighting.

A spectacular image Ed. From a technical point of view it would be interesting to see it larger but I guess that's hard with an uploadable image.

What is the name of the insect? The shading on the wings is interesting.

It is a mayfly ... Lifespan 24 hours.

Yes, the NEF is significantly better.almost noise free after very gentle treatment in LR4.

I put an example at ISO 1600 over in the macro forum on Nikonians.

And as for the wings ... Think Lalique glass and you won't be far off.

Translucency incredibly hard to capture well. Very nice, thanks for sharing.

Lovely image!
Those wings are wonderful in their detail.
I hate to think how well rendered these would be on a D800.

So you have the Sigma 150 and the Nikon 180 lenses?
How do they compare in every day and macro use ?
Did you use an extension tube for the shot above or is it a crop?
