macro mania at Farley Mount Nr Winchester Hampshire UK

I keep messing with the macro mode now and then. Taken in the Club House in Old Manali.

Macro mania tonight.

Macro mania - looking inside

Morning sun and Dew, took this literally as i

stepped out of my front door!

This is a citronella geranium and mosquitos don't like it, which I think is great because mosquitos really like me.

 

I bought two of these plants last year and put one on the front porch and one on the back porch. It seemed to help cut down on the mosquito harassment better than other things I've tried. I want to buy a few more this year and strategically place them for a mosquito barrier!

 

This shot also serves as a promo for the Ohio Foothills group's upcoming April challenge - "Macro Mania".

flower power! :-)

The DOF lever is only useful when this "macro" lens is mounted (reversed) directly onto the camera body.

When this "macro" lens is mounted on the front of a normal camera lens, closing the DOF lever (lens iris) wil only reduce the field of view to a very small spot. In this configuration you can control the DOF by closing down the aperture on your normal camera lens.

Managed to catch these in the garden after I'd chased the ants around for awhile.

Just playing around with my Focusing rail after work this morning. Time to get some sleep.

I thought I'd left the water for long enough, but it was still moving a lot by the look of the ink in this photo. Was also seeing the difference in colour and clarity of the drop with the tinted water.

Went to see if the Red Hot Pokers were in flower yet. They weren't, so took this instead.

Started off with the idea of using an oil droplet, but it was too small, so searched for something else. This turned up.

Wow! Yummy!

Inspired by Victor's love of the macro.

My camera had NO lens mounted, but I hand held my macro lens (front against the lens hole on the D90 body). I shot with the DOF lever fully closed (the aperture on the bottle was closed down to f16). If you want really shallow DOF (depth of field) then leave the macro bottle wide open (f1.2 on my bottle).

Macro bottle is an old manual lens from an old film camera (55mm, f1.2).

This is an RBOB shot - Reverse Bottle On Body (on the front of the camera).

 

Yes, you can ask. Why gravy granules?

I was showing someone what Bisto was and hadn't put the tub away.
