Macro Photography

Whoa Sancho, that is amazing!! Nice

 

[avrolling]

Damn that is awesome! What kind of lens did you use?

 

[Sancho]

A zoom lens (Nikon AF-S 55-300mm) with a Raynox DCR-250 attached to the front of it. The Raynox turns the zoom lens into a macro lens.

This is the ink on a credit card.

^ That's pretty cool.

 

[avrolling]

Nice! I'm going to have to try that out now haha

Sweet!!! This might be the solution I was looking for!!

 

[Sancho]

Sweet!!! This might be the solution I was looking for!!

A bit of a warning, the DOF can be quite thin with the DCR-250. It takes a bit of practice to get it right. There is also the DCR-150 which gives less magnification but more DOF.

I took a few test shots below.

Hey Nation did you end up gettin that new camera yet? ....

AV what equipment are you working with? ... apart from the 56 inch hotrod?

 

[Keaton]

Nah not yet

That homemade tattoo is creepy and I keep trying to avoid it any time I come to this page but I love the other pictures, especially the bubbles. I pictures of bubbles :D

 

[avrolling]

I have a Sony a300 with sony's starter macro lens and a 300mm zoom

 

[8ft-Sativa]

Thizzle ... yeah the tattoo was fresh when the pic was taken it looks different now I should take a shot of it all healed up.

AV you got the right shit now get out there and take snaps ... it's spring right? ... bugs are everywhere!

Nation ... man .... ever thought of selling a kidney?

Some wierd eggs on a leaf .. shots a lil blurry but keeping your hands still is mega hard sometimes ... If I ever get parkinsons imma have to give up macro

And todays face off was brought too you by the letter "R".

 

[fizzle]

Awesome, as always! I particularly like the rose and the 'R' because its so unique. What is the one with all the colors?? Are those dried paint or something? That one is really interesting!

Someone made a Mandala in the middle of the street http://www.mandalawerkstatt.de/Indianmandalas/index.html

That snap was from right in the middle of the amazing pile of chalk powder.

 

[fizzle]

Ah, yea! We had a monk visiting my college one year who did one of those in sand, I'll dig up my pictures of it.

 

[Sancho]

Not as close as usual but it's still a macro I suppose.
