Macro test
Knowing the weather in N.I, getting out isnt always possible. So to keep myself busy in the bad times, thought Id try my hand at some insect photography, even though I dont like insects lol, but some of the images Ive been looking at are just as mind blowing as the best landscape images. I just bought a lens reversing ring and tried my 18-55 kit lens on the body in reverse, not having an insect at hand, I tried it on a 5p piece. Those raised letters couldnt be more than 1/4 of a mm in height, and it required 5 shots focus stacked to even get it this good lol, some parts of the lettering are still OOF. I think it could be a steep learning curve, along with some additional equipment, to get images as good as the ones Ive been looking at recently. Oh well, the weather is bad enough here, Im sure I'll get enough practice in!
