Re: New lens

Doing some more macro, because I love macro. I am going to make a habit of trying to make little scenes like these, with objects that are abstract when viewed up so close.

Re: New lens

Dude. Dude.... Keep these up... damn son.

EDIT:

Also, what do you use to edit these photos? Photoshop I assume?

Re: New lens

It's gonna be a super nitpick, I just feel that the focus should be clearer on the seed as the primary subject; the last two pics seems a little off in that respect. However knowing its a mpe65, manual focus is tedious.. Just feel it would give that extra oomph factor to them

That aside, those are really neat compositions! I love the toy macros especially

Yeah it's very hard to judge exactly where the plane of focus is at the magnification I was working with, there were only a few shots anywhere near focus for most of these-- Ideally I need a focus rail or something because literally even the slightest vibration throws everything off at that level x_X

It's a hard lens to use but i absolutely love it.

And thanks for the compliments I do all my editing in Photoshop, I should probably get saavy with lightroom but I feel everything I need to do is in photoshop anyway.

Re: New lens

I've got a bunch I still need to crop/convert to JPG/upload, I'll get to it as soon as my school work levels out a bit :J in the meantime, here's a snowflake pic I took a few days ago.

Re: New lens

Two more flake pix.





Really wish I could go out and take more though. Maybe it'll snow again.

Re: New lens

i take it this was also on the macro lens?

[Spenner]

Re: New lens

Yeah for sure. I didn't go much more than 3:1 magnification, just because it was hard to get any shots of flakes before they melted/a lot of them were blurry due to the thin d.o.f after 3:1 (sharpest one at any higher magnification was that first snowflake pic).

Here's the unedited version of that first pic aswell... took quite a bit of tweaking to get the details to really show through. The highlights get really burned out quick using the flash (not to mention the contrast gets way too high)

Re: New lens

you realize you LITERALLY are making me put down 1k on a macro lens right?

I hate you. In a good way. Lol.
