Bromeliad

I'm not sure if these qualify for macro, I took them with my Canon G15 in Macro mode at 6.1mm the sensor is 1/1.7 someone with the tech skills could figure out the sensor ratio. Anyway I like the wide angle look. Processed in LR5 and PS6

A 1/1.7" sensor is only 7.6-mm x 5.7-mm. Are these subjects actually that small?

No these are not that small. That is my question with such a wide angle 6.1 mm as you can see the flowers go past the lens and does fill the frame can these be considered a macro? For instance if I was shooting with my 60D and the APS-C sensor on a large flower at 1:1 with my Tamron 90mm the petals would extend past the lens and focus on just a small part of the flower. Is that what is happening here?

I too am curious (wheat of some sort?) I especially like #3.

What if the area in focus is 1:1 and the rest is out of focus and as in many flower macros? As you can see here the area of focus is rather small but with the wide angle 6.1mm much more of the flower is captured. I'm trying to ascertain if the G15 shoots actual macros in the macro setting throughout it's 6.1 to 50mm macro setting. Anything above 50mm the macro does not work.

105-mm MWD field of view on DX sensor = life-size

This is a Bromeliad I'm not familiar with. What kind is it? It looks beautiful. This must be the bloom.

OK Doug I'll do that. Had to send the camera back to Amazon as the display kept going dark [got it used] when I get my replacement this will be the first thing I do. Thanks

The leaves look like a Neoregelia, but I've never seen blooms (actually inflorescence) quite like those. They're beautiful, and thanks very much for posting another picture.

Is that a type of Bromelide?

It is. There are so many different kinds.
