Although it was taken with a comparatively inexpensive Olympus compact camera, Rachel’s dramatic picture would, I suspect, be a prized result for most macro shooters – no matter how well outfitted. Exposure is faultless and the tiny but high resolution sensor delivers superb depth of field. There is a penalty to be paid in the form of a busy background, but the spiky sharpness of the subject is ample compensation for any deficiencies in the bokeh department.
