This was my first, real macro experience, with my new Tamron lens and I think I like it... :-)
Press L to see in large.
Nikon D5000 with Tamron SP AF90mm F/2.8 Di Macro 1:1
Nikon D5000 | ISO 200 | 90mm | ƒ/10 | 1/125s
Still need LOTS and LOTS of practice to focus better.... hopefully much better in the future! hahaha
But... had so much fun!! <3
第一次探索Macro的世界，好有趣！！！
Macro Photography on a budget . . . $14 extension tubes.
It slices, it Dices, and it makes Julienne fries . . . whatever they are . . . and turns any lens into the ultimate macro experience.
Found this colourful tiny creature which looked inanimate and feigned death. Was about to flick it with my finger without realizing it is a poisonous vapourer moth caterpillar which injects tufts of hair into the skin causing irritation/infection as their defense system ...
The lighting was poor, so I used pop-up flash with DIY diffuser, which makes it my maiden diffuser experiment, and hence no chance to reduce the aperture to make the whole subject in focus!

LX5 - First macro experiences (indoor).
Uploaded to partipace in the weekly challenge of The Challenge Factory group.
I took another short break from painting the pagoda roof to find huge activity in the macro view. Clearly the insects were all going to be very much on the move very soon!
Although we had no idea whether they were friend or foe to our plants we knew we had to quickly release them to roam and continue their life cycle in our pieris plants.
Over several day they had given us marvellous view into a miniature world that we had not previously visited We were very grateful to them and they had earned a tremendous admiration and respect for their little world! In the middle of our busy preparations for our garden open days the macro experience had been quite awe inspiring, exciting and somewhat time consuming and exhausting......considering their little size!
We have been shooting an interesting subject that you can try at home - Dish soap bubbles - So we thought we would share a little how-to to get the creative juices flowing!
Watch the guide on youtube here - youtu.be/dXIpyTTsHLA
We have been experimenting with dish soap bubbles since the early days of the Adaptalux Studio (one of the first shots Sam ever took with the early prototypes). They make for some very cool shots with the correct lighting.
The space-like shots are achieved by shining light through a bottle of dish soap or hand soap. This is really easy to set up and have a go at in your own kitchen!
Shaking the bottle creates little bubbles in the viscous fluid and lighting them from behind or the side can show some amazing colours. The colour can get even more interesting when the fluid is colourless and coloured lights are introduced instead.
This shot was captured using a reversed 24mm lens with and extension tube. It's very close and can be difficult to focus with this set up, but you can get equally amazing shots with less magnification too. Here we used an amber light from the back, and a blue light from the side to create some separation between the bubbles in the foreground and the rest of the solution in the background.
If you want to give it a go, we have a more detailed guide over on our blog too - adaptalux.com/macro-photography-tutorial-dish-soap-bubbles/

A first super macro experience with a Common Darter, more archive fun my friends :) It seems so long ago now, oh well, soon be Spring, he says optimistically :)
Another take off from #Hoverfly Shot with #olympus in #southampton #uk

The metal lever at the back of any Nikkor lens can be manually moved to adjust the size of the aperture openings.
By fixing the metal lever with paper, paper clip, plasticine etc., one can prevent the aperture blades from closing again, thus allowing more light in- better macro experience.

The theme for this picture was "The Chase" and I went for "chasing a dream".
The reflection IS NOT me (the photographer)
...It didn't go as well as I thought it would lol, cause the reflection actually looks like a reflection of the photographer taking a picture, but that's just not true... or possible if you actually consider the angle, and the fact that I'm not a girl...
The concept wasn't hard to execute really, but the shot was a bit of a challenge to take, for me anyway, since I have minimal macro experience. The shot was done indoors with ambient light, which was pretty weak. With a macro, you do lose some speed, and DOF, so I had to stop down the aperture. But I didn't want to bump up my ISO to help avoid noise... so I had a very slow shutter, where it's difficult for someone to not move or blink at such a close distance.without it being noticeable. The workspace was also very cramped, since I had her resting on a chair and table to keep herself as steady as possible, and the reflected object couldn't be too far away. Of course I had to shoot with a tripod, which made the space even more cramped lol.
But overall, I still think it was a neat idea, that had a lot of potential and could be better next time.
Watching this baby snail make its way around the cone flower bud made for a wonderfully relaxing macro experience today.
I attended a Greater Reading Area Photography Meet Up group event title "Fun with Liquid Drops".
I made an effort to capture work with the liquid drops but didn't do well. There were several other subjects around the room to try out some macro skills.
Nikon D5100 images were taken with a Nikon 60mm Macro lens. This isn't an AFS lens so focus was done manually.
Nikon P7700 images were taken with the camera set to Macro. While on the tripod, I made an effort to use manual focus, not easily done but I worked at it.
It should be noted that the meet up was held at the Berks Photographic Society's facility.
Besides gaining some macro experience, I took this opportunity to practice using Lightroom 5.
my first macro experience with T10
This shot was made using Sony Cybershot T10 point-and-shot camera.
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe!
