Last big tip! Take a fine spray bottle of water, a soft brush and some tweezers to clean the scene. Mushrooms grow in damp, dark, dirty places!
Long been a fan of her work, and her gallery is the reason why I wanted to get a long lens, ultimately forcing me away from the fuji system to a more affordable full frame one.
She works hard at it though.
None of the above are focus stacked so it's definitely doable! I shoot further back to get a bit of extra depth of field, so there can be compromise on composition. But stacking is the way to get truly insane shots. Lot of work, though!
A brush, tweezers and spray will do much more than a million stacked photos
So I was thinking of getting a smaller mirrorless camera. The snob in me is very attracted to the Leica D lux 7 which looks to have a fast lens, the aperture and shutter control I want - and, well, I think it looks really cool...
But I suspect it’s over priced. Any opinions?
In terms of other options in a sub £1000 bracket what would you suggest? Happy to look at good compacts as well as lens-interchangeable cameras. There seems to be a lot of love for Fujifilm on here but lots of models to choose from.
Cheers all
Assuming they're both perfectly usable, which you go for is down to whether you consider the Panasonic to be a cheap Leica, or the Leica to be an overpriced Panasonic.
If I was in the market for a digi compact with manual controls, I'd need a lot of convincing to spend the extra half a grand on the Leica (and I'm a bit of a film Leica fanboi).
ETA: There's a newer version of the LX100 that's recently come out, for about £800. Check which of them is closest to the D-Lux 7. At that price, the choice between that and the Leica might be less clear, and ditto those and other options like the Fujis.

Nobody loves me but my mother... and she could be jivin' too...
first is make some choices about what will make
for the most usable camera. Since they are all essentially a compromise of some sort.
You should probably take a look at the latest Sony RX100, the mark vii. I’ve never owned a Sony or held any of the RX100 variants but they are spoken of very very highly in all sorts of circles. And under the £1000 mark now, just

I’m becoming a Fuji fanboy I think!
