My camera is Ricoh CX5 (a five-year-old compact camera). All I did was to point and shoot, but this camera has an excellent macro + zoom. The blossoms are approx. four meters high.

Aperture: ƒ/5.6

Focal length: 52.5 mm

Exposure time: 1/660

ISO: 100

For/from the archive.

I don't think I had really heard of HDR when I made this one. But I was already interested in doing stuff with a picture after I'd taken it :-). And that Sony of mine had excellent macro capabilities.

Most of my pics are manualfocus adapting manual old lenses (gems) to digital bodies (Oly300, Nex5). I'm quite slow and happy of this balance I've found..

In this case the camera is my beloved and (very) old Oly C5050Z, only 5M and very slow, but with a fantastic sharp and bright (f1,8) zoom lens, titanium black body, small tilting monitor and ... 64ASA!!! and excellent macro capablities: 3cm! ... you can find it as bargain

About this shot

Wandering along the beach in Boulogne sur Mer (Cote d'Opale, France) I found this bottle...

This is my tiny Nikon P300 showcasing its excellent Macro settings, focussing at 3 cm. This is a 'simple' JPG conversion, since the P300 doesn't shoot RAW - Ger! ;-)

THX for viewing folks! Faves and comments are always welcome! Have a nice day.

At last a bit of fun! This one really has been long in the making, folks. It didn't turn out perfect, but I'm not displeased with the result nevertheless.

The excellent macro photo of the wasp was taken by f4ke ID (you can see the original here)

The run-down old house in the background I found on Google and I forgot to note the source (doh!)

The planet was created by me in Photoshop, and is probably the one element that the picture could do without. But I just wanted to use it again!

Thank you all for your comments, unfortunatly weather is too hot in Kuwait now a days, over 48C most of the time dusty so just sit at the computer desk & read your comments again and again. Thank you all.

A big male southern two-lined salamander from just outside Lexington, Kentucky.

My 1st ever sighting!

I should know the name but I don't!

Male (below) and female red salamanders from Kentucky

This may be the best featured camera in the set I got via my friend but it's really just another plastic fantastic compared to say the Varex IIa. :-)

It is a very good camera though with an excellent macro 50 f/2.8. Only problem seems to be the coating on the back seems to be disintegrating either from holding it of from an address label (most of the other kit had one stuck on). This model was the basis for both Minolta's digital SLRs.

2000-2004 (?)

Happened upon a lens for industrial automation in a surplus shop. Bought it for 25USD and adapted it to be a M42 mount so it can be mounted on almost any camera with M42.

I can focus it to infinity and as close as 15cm, adding a few extension tubes make it an excellent macro lens. I think it is better than my Canon EF-100 macro lens at 1:1.
