This isn't my regular kind of post here.😉 I just want to share with you my helping lights for macro photography. I watched a video last month of this tip and wanted to try it myself. It worked indoor for my last photos but I want to use it for outdoors. I used here a velcro wrap tie and some cheap mini led flashlight keychains an wrapped around my heavy used Canon 100mm f/2.8 lens. You can turn on/off the ones you need, add more lights or rotate the band around the lens to adjust the light position. Well, it worked for me and I'll post some macro photos from outdoors soon, too windy and cold now!!! (I already have a ring flash, too.)

a DIY Macro diffuser thats been a better idea than my other card one lol, its a thin white plastic bowl, i cut a hole in the bottom and the Raynox lens holds it tightly in place.
Cheap too :-)
Sometimes, you've gotta buff your own train. Here's my A447 sitting on the Dixie siding while we wait for Neenah yard to clear up for us. No, the gp9 was not for power, just tagging along for the ride to Green Bay. Some junk bonga is back there in the train running DP and wasting my time.
Taking 447 up the Fox is the last bit of my territory that PTC isn't in effect and we run big trains fast. You don't realize how much you use the box until it isn't available to you, and I'm grateful to get the opportunity to "really railroad" every once in awhile.
Don't try this at home!
It has been going on for longer than you might think:--
In the Ebers Papyrus from ancient Egypt dating to 1550 BC, a section is devoted to eye diseases.
Celsus the Greek philosopher of the second century AD gave a detailed description of cataract surgery by the couching method.
Couching is the earliest documented form of cataract surgery. As a cataract is a clouding in the lens of the eye, couching is a technique whereby the lens is dislodged, thus removing the opacity. Although couching is nowadays routinely practised only in remote areas, it was a precursor to modern cataract surgery
Maybe DIY Orthopaedic surgery next.
My first attempt at the DIY Bokeh wall. Leather rose on granite with crumpled aluminium foil as the wall.
I spent part of the summer building this 18x24cm camera (helped by my cousin) and it's alive! I've only tested with paper negatives but I'm preparing for coating my first dry plates and someday maybe we try wet plate collodion... Who knows?
Do not try this at home.
That van Gogh moment.
Otoplasty — also known as cosmetic ear surgery — is a procedure to change the shape, position or size of the ears.
Maybe DIY brain surgery next.
These tools are sparingly used. DIY is not really my forte, and I prefer to use my hard-earned income to pay a professional to do jobs properly. I don't even know what the thing on the right is (don't worry; I don't really want to know).
Taken because on 2 April 2022 the Hereios of the We’re Here! Group are shooting DIY Home Decor.
Fooling around with my new toy, the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art. Still a few weeks to go before I travel to the mountains, so I found some at home ;o)
Ou comment expérimenter avec mon nouveau joujou, le Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art. Encore quelques semaines à tirer avant que j’aille voir les montagnes, donc j’en ai trouvées à la maison ;o)
What happens when your vertical alignment is out on your Leica M8? You can either send it to Solms, get an experienced RF techie to do it or you DIY. I opted for the latter for the sake of time and the fact that some RF techies didn't want to touch it. So, I bought a the Zhou vertical tool (http://cgi.ebay.com/Vertical-Line-Focus-Adj-Tool-F-Leica-M4-2-M4p-M6-M7-MP-/170399164715?pt=Film_Cameras&hash=item27ac94e92b#ht_2091wt_940) and fixed it myself. According to the description of the tool, it doesn't cater for the M8/M9, but it does actually work with the M8 (and I assume the M9).
Although I look a bit spack-handed with DIY in the YouTube videos, but I've fixed the Epson R-D1S alignments myself so I thought the M8 couldn't be much harder. The only tough part was getting the Leica badge off, which was a bit of a toughie. What you have to do is to repeatedly push it clockwise then anti-clockwise until the glue underneath it gives way. I would advise using a plastic object (something that won't scratch) to push under the left side of the "L" and then under the right side of the tail of the "L". Finally, it will slide off, revealing bits inside. It's a bit dark inside, but shine a bright light and you can make out where the hole is. This is a special tool that fits into the slot. Some would recommend using acetone (nail polish remover) to loosen the glue up a bit so you can make the amendments.
P.S. If you are not confident in doing it, then I would strongly recommend taking it to someone who knows what they are doing. One really needs to be quite delicate with it as it's easy f*ck it up. I did it because I am chi sin.
I've acros this idea on a creative blog online and LOVED the idea so much I wanted to make it for our home.
So this weekend was all about DIY and this is the end result!

Ok, here is: My DIY ring flash.
Salad Bowl, cut a hole in the middle, placed a pineapple tin can, made another square hole for the flash on the side. Made a bracket out of alumium and shaped it in the way shown above. Flash is a Canon 580ex, triggered by a cable.
The diffuser is a piece of plastic folder I had with documents :-)
The tin of pineapple has a piece of aluminium foil around it so it reflects more light. I love the lighting effect this flash produces. I will upload photos soon (When I find my model)

I hope you like it, any question or comments are more than welcome.
I had to try this out. I took a box, some paper for engineering drawings, cut the box glued the paper to the holes and put also some paper inside. This gives indeed some very nice light and you have countless possibilities (flash or w/o flash, left right, top, all sides...).
I use a small lamp, that was unused for a long time.
Now I'm looking for a larger box with bigger holes for the light to shine through and to get the background more even. I also will get some black cloth for black backgrounds. Building this took 20 minutes at no cost, because I have a lot of this paper at home. Some test shoots will follow.
DIY mini softbox. It's not big but it is clever.
Making one is very easy indeed. Just find any appropriately sized box, the first version I made was from a cereal packet, but I found this stronger one. Then simply cut out one side and cover it with something like tracing paper. I guess normal paper would do, but you'd get less light coming through the thicker paper. Then just cut a hole in the bottom and stick your flash up into the box.
Kind of obviously, I have found best results when you get the softbox as close to the subject as you can without it being in the shot. It would be excellent for macro type shots but its also not half bad when the subject is further away.
