Dan Perovich's Cyberfront Property

1/8 sec @ f/2.8, ISO 400, 6.8 mm  I played around more with the our new Leica D-Lux 4 tonight.  I am really interested in its macro capabilities, so I took another closeup shot.  This time, it was of one of the chargers on one of the two Thanksgiving dinner tables we have prepared for Thursday.  I am really impressed in the amount of detail that this little point and shoot camera can capture.  I did not apply any additional sharpening to the RAW file in Lightroom.  The only sharpening that was applied is the default amount that Lightroom applies to all D-Lux 4 RAW images that are imported (based on the camera profile created by Adobe).

The image was a bit noiser than the final photo.  I used Noise Ninja to process and remove the noise.  I also used a duplicate layer and mask to clone out and blur a light stand that made its way into the background of this image (between the two chairs).  I did not do a perfect job doing the editing though.  With a bit more time I would be able to remove the two or three flaws in the area between the chairs.
