Creeping Thyme _8612
"Thyme" to Experiment
I call this a work in progress as I think I should be able (would like) to get a sharper image. There was no cropping done on this image and I have no idea what power of magnification is involved, the little flower is about 3mm across. Focusing was done by moving the subject back and forth. Shot at f/16 - 1/200 sec and ISO-100.
Reverse mounted lens - in this case it is my wife's old Nikon Nikkor-S Auto 1:1.2 f=55mm. It is a standard Nikon lens from the good old film days. What I like about this lens is the ability to open it up to focus and then being able to stop it down to capture the light. Using a Macro reverse ring camera mount for Canon EOS camera (NIKO LMC-1 52mm adaptor).
For my light source I used the camera's pop up flash with my "Pringles Can Macro Diffuser" - still trying to get a way to mount it on my camera in a "professional manner".
