Another one from the Seealpsee. This time you can really see the Seealpsee in the foreground, if you look closely.
Even in this small valley you can see some light pollution form the cities behind the Säntis (which is the mountain with the light on the top).
But i´m quite satisfied with this shot. Except that i especially lent a 24mm 1.4 from my local camera store "Lichtblick" to capture the milkyway. But this lens was such a crap. I never had such an unsharp lens, even when i focussed manually with 100% live view magnifier. But the store says it´s ok. Never will buy there some stuff. Such incompetent staff...
Hope you like it!
With my determination, I'm not really sure. He was tiny and a good exercise object for the magnifying lens.
Ich nehme an es ist ein Trompetenschnitzling. Nebst diesem Winzling waren noch zwei etwas grössere Exemplare am selben Stück Holz wo man sie normalerweise findet. Es war eine gute Uebung mit dem Canon Lupenobjektiv an der Panasonic G81. Funktioniert zusammen mit dem Adapter von Traumflieger nun doch besser als ich zuerst meinte.

In Lieu of a new Magnifier-- I have examined and photographed macros of various details on this lovely little burgundy iris in preparation for Drawing and?or Painting it! My eyes are dim, I cannot see ( not clearly enough , anyway!)
Dedicated to www.flickr.com/photos/39186828@N00/ tks for your great testimonial my friend! :))))))
Though I've been taking them for years, I'm still surprised when a macro turns out well and remain uncertain as to why. I think it has to do with camera positioning...something made even more difficult by a moving insect. More often than not, I get confused and begin swinging my camera up and down, left and right, ultimately clicking at the moment which can only be defined as a good guess. In any event, the result here was pleasing.
This guy also immediately suggested the possibility of providing a vehicle for exhibiting my "purist" desires of offering a monochrome ...just like the REAL photographers do. However, I again chickened out because I decided the little brown accents in the facial area were just too cute not to highlight...;-))
(The magnifier displays just how cute, and I have added the b/w in comments because it makes me feel very Stieglitz-y...)
New goal is at least one roll of film per month - so for the month of May 2020 it’s a roll of Ilford HP5+ via Canon A1. The camera has an FD 50 f1.4 lens, a focus magnifier, and a Cokin frame/hood attached. Also has the little sports action grip accessory which partially covers the battery door. If I am able to get any photos worth sharing I will post them.

Forever is what I am,
Faithful is in my blood.
strong are my roots
but wild is my heart.
Tame it for a time
cage it if you can
but you can not contain
the heart of a woman.
Claim it for a time
before it's fire burns you,
its freedom consumes it
and nature reclaims it
beneath earths mud.
Forever is what I am,
Faithful is in my blood
Strong are my roots
but wild is my heart.

Any one else see the face in the heart? This is another one where I photographed rocks in water and the glass reflected my marker art back into the glass. The heart shaped tear drop from an app works like a magnifier and then I mirrored it.

or use the magnifier.. as Flickr does not give us the opportunity to choose our own backgrounds and photos like these lose therefore their power.. : -(
thank you!

How low can you go?
This is a photo of the objective element of a measuring magnifier. The top scale is tenths of millimeters. The line in bottom center, is one one thousandths of an inch thick.
That's the best I could do.

HMM.
What the hell is this? It’s a technique that uses refracted light to create an abstract image. Commonly called “refractography”, there is no lens attached to my camera. This is simply focused and refracted light. There’s more to the story, however. Read on!
To create this image, I’m using a few ingredients:
- High-powered LED flashlight: The light source is a simple flashlight that I can mount to a tripod for easy positioning
- Fresnel Lens: Also commonly known as a “magnifying sheet” or a “pocket magnifier”, this is also the same technology used in “better beamer” accessories to refocus flash bursts over a much greater distance. This helps me keep the light from spreading too far off course – I need to keep the light as straight as possible, and these cost about $4
- Refractive object: In this image, I’m using a glass vase with a spiral pattern, but different objects will create different patterns, lines and shapes. This same object could create a dozen different interesting compositions! Try anything made of glass, with unique surface details providing distinctive results!
- Refocuser: Because the cheap Fresnel lens doesn’t give me completely straight light (a telecentric lens would likely do this), I use a small single-optic lens from an old Contaflex camera to create sharper results before the light hits my camera’s sensor.
- Colour: Somewhere in the mix I’ve added colour by projecting the result of birefringence into the refraction. Yep. I’m that geeky.
The result is an abstract piece of art, one which can barely be considered a photograph. It pushes the “limits”, which is why I enjoy tinkering with this sort of thing. There is also no way to create exactly the same results twice. Each attempt requires different adjustments of the variables and constant fiddling to produce unexpectedly beautiful results.
I had originally created this refractograph as a classroom demonstration with students watching as the image appeared on the camera sensor. It was a fun moment to see everyone’s eyes light up as an “image” was formed with a series of optical filters.
Fun stuff! I need to spend more time tinkering. :)
I've only see that something is on the deadwood. Very young and tiny mushrooms showed when looking through magnifier lens.

This road goes from Heptonstall in Yorkshire to Overtown in Lancashire (Burnley District). If you use the flickr magnifier, you can just about see the sign for Lancashire at the end of what can be seen of the road. The "white rainbow" (or "fog bow") became more distinct later on. However, my photos were really blurred.
This is art from someone else's art; namely Marco Cochrane’s “Bliss Dance”. First appearing at Burning Man in 2010, it had brief stop at the Great Lawn at San Francisco's Treasure Island before ending up in Vegas, in front of the T-Mobile Arena (home of the Vegas Golden Knights btw who, when the Leafs do their usual swan dive later in the season, are going to be my new favorite hockey team!)
Viewing with the magnifier is kinda cool.
smallish spider which runs fast over the ground. I always though these were black, however the digital magnifier shows a different story. Very common. The females are larger.

Hoping that you like the result ...
Thank you for the comments.
Ok, i showed u how i took the drops with my IXUS 850. I put a magnifier in front of the camera, used the "D" macro mode, n took the shot very close to the drops. I normally set ISO 80, but i mistakenly set ISO400 this time, so it s a bit too noisy. ~"~ And i usually had to take at least 30-50 shots before i got a good one! Patience is the most important thing!! Of cos, have to thank Mr. Potoshop for helping me to enhance the colors and sharpness! ^_^

It works!!! HURRAH! I'm so over the moon. Considering I bought the camera from someone who had never used it and didn't know how to use it (don't try this at home lol). Between them answering all my bonkers questions over the internet I decided to risk it. I thought it was in such beauuuuutiful excellent condition that if it didn't work I could always attempt repair. If not, well I didn't want to think that far ahead with negativity. Whoever had it before me looked after it unbelievably well. It shines almost like it was made yesterday. I AM IN LOVE again. Always falling for old vintage cameras. Never ends...SOS haha
Film: Kodak Portra 400 expired 2006. 120 format. Shot at - 2 stops to let in more light given age of film.
Metered Incident light at F5.6 1/100 using Weston Master V but shot at f3.5 1/100. I wanted to see the results in the widest aperture. Photo is nothing special but, everything works super smoothly!! Phew.
Focal Depth of Field Distance 0.8 meters.
Developed in Bellini C41 kit
The ground glass screen as you can well imagine is very foggy with age but thankfully, with some extra hard squinting haha, and the aid of the focusing magnifier I could see just enough to get it in focus.
Of course a lot of patience is needed when shooting with old vintage cameras. And that's something I have plenty of. As do many film photographers I have known over the years!!! Some of the most patient people i've ever met. Get on the wrong side of us and oh boy, how you've really pushed us over our absolute patience threshold.
Can't wait to run an Ilford Ortho Plus through it next/soon. Thought i'd go all out Orthochromatic for that extra vintage era vibe. Fingers crossed all being well.
Bright light is a huge help when photographing freezing soap bubbles, especially at more extreme magnifications like this. I have some excellent equipment for this, but the beams of most flashlights spread out too wide too quickly. The solution? A Fresnel lens. view large!
A Fresnel lens is better known as a “magnifying sheet” or a “pocket magnifier”. They sell them at local hardware stores for a few dollars, and similar prices can be found online. This allows me to refocus the beam of light to exactly where I want it to be, and hopefully I can get a soap bubble to form in that exact spot as well.
A cheap plastic Fresnel lens is not optically perfect, and there is some odd light bending happening that splits some of the white light into colours. These colours are more pronounced near the center of the flashlight’s beam, which is darker than the surrounding area based on the way the light is being focused. For those curious, the flashlight is a Tiny Monster TM36 with puts out 1800 lumens through a single LED: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1059974-REG/nitecore_tm36_...
This image was taken at around 2:1 magnification, focusing on the growth of the frost rather than the outer shape of the bubble. There are a lot of elements at play here, and timing is everything. Finding the right angle is critical with zero time to waste, so like my snowflake work I handhold the camera for these images. A tripod is used – but only to hold the flashlight in the right position. :)
We haven’t had many days with the right conditions for this kind of work, but we might have one coming up soon. Temps are best between -10C and -20C with as little wind as possible. We’ve had three opportunities this year in my area, and the last chances are likely within the next week.
I know I’ve posted it before, but for this curious what bubble recipe I use, here it is:
6 parts water
2 parts liquid dish soap
1 part white corn syrup
The corn syrup thickens the bubble mixture and usually falls to the bottom of the bubble, taking the brunt of the impact with the snow it rests on. This prevents the bubble from popping immediately and the frost begins to grow.
I do a lot of winter macro work. For more of my snowflake work, check out skycrystals.ca/ - many of the shooting techniques are the same for snowflakes and freezing soap bubbles!

Plattbauch, Weibchen.

Vor Ort kamen einige sehr einzigartige Gegebenheiten zusammen. Das Licht war fantastisch, ließ alles teils surreal wie von innen leuchten/glühen, bei 26°C, wolkenlosem Himmel, voller Sonne, aber 4 Windstärken. Die Leeseite eines winzigen Moorwäldchens bot Schutz und einen wahrlich magisch ausgeleuchteten Halbschatten.
Dort tummelten sich gut ein Dutzend der gelben Großlibellen, Plattbauch wie Vierfleck und ungezählte Azurjungfern.
Mit Autofokus war in der Situation absolut nichts zu machen, nicht mit der A6300 in Kombination mit dem Canon 70-200/4 und der nötigen kleinen Blendenöffnung.
Das Licht war extrem gestreut und warf keine Schatten, trotz praller Sonne. Auf dem Kameradisplay war nichts mehr erkennbar, im Sucher nur schemenhafte glühende Strukturen (rotes Peeking auf schwächster Stufe). Nur bei aktiver Fokuslupe ließ sich die Schärfe halbwegs kontrolliert setzen, wenn Wind und Model sich gnädig zeigten.
On location, some very unique circumstances came together. The light was fantastic, making everything glow/glow partly surreal as if from within, at 26°C, cloudless sky, full sun, but 4 wind forces. The leeward side of a tiny moorland grove offered shelter and a truly magically illuminated penumbra.
There, a good dozen of the yellow damselflies, flat-bellied like four-spotted and uncounted azure damselflies were cavorting.
There was absolutely nothing to be done with autofocus in this situation, not with the A6300 in combination with the Canon 70-200/4 and the necessary small aperture.
The light was extremely diffused and cast no shadows, despite the blazing sun. Nothing was recognisable on the camera display, in the viewfinder only shadowy glowing structures (red peeking at the weakest level). Only when the focus magnifier was active could the focus be set in a halfway controlled way, if the wind and the model were merciful.
I experimented on taking a magnifier-glass and put an item underneath the sun. Instantly, that item would start to smoke/burn from the heat of the sun. FYI don't do it without glasses ;P
Swirled about in a big, cyclonic blender for The Award Tree's ~ Catching Clouds ~ challenge.
For anyone inclined, viewing with the magnifier is kinda cool.
