It's been quite a while since I last shot a macro. Having a day off from work today, I thought I would take advantage of a quiet house and take this photo.
Made from 64 images, initially sub-stacked in batches of 16 images using DMap with the four substacks subsequently combined using PMax. Two flashes were used, shot through diffusers, one above and one below, both triggered wirelessly. This macro is approximately 4:1 magnification.
The specimen is actually pretty old, and not so well preserved, hence the lack of colour.
A Pentium 4 through two lenses. The attached lens is an AF-D Nikkor 18-135 @ 135mm f/5.6 and an manual Nikkor 35-70 is handheld in front of it @70mm f/4.5.

Reverse macro - just turn your lens around - as seen on the Flickr Blog. This technique gives you a minute DoF

Reverse macro : hand held using Minolta 50mm - the 49mm diameter fits beautifully into my canon mount!
My first attempt at Reverse Macro. This is of the lid button on my Macbook Pro
Thanks Todd for the cool idea!

Photo 293/365 - 20 October 2010.
I was topping up Liam with a bottle this morning when I noticed the sun was out and his eyes were reflecting what was going on around him. I actually wanted to take the shot whilst he was on the bottle and pretty still but it was not to be.
Anyways it was pretty challenging doing a reverse lens macro of a baby who was happy to move every which way. I kind of held the trigger down and hoped for the best.
Feeling pretty tired ... I am going to need a top up sleep!
I've found a new addiction; reversed lenses and floralscapes.
Recently, I cut a hole in my body cap and glued it to a filter so I could mount lenses on my D40 the wrong way. The last several days it has kept a continual flow of endorphins running into my bloodstream and a unrelenting desire to run and grab my camera at the sight of any flower that blows in the sun.
There's entire worlds I haven't seen yet, and I can imagine that I'll be searching for them around every corner for a while.
I owe the motivation to try floralscapes to Zeb Andrews and manyfires, two contacts in whose work I always find inspiration.
This is a double lens reverse macro shot taken with my Nikon 70-300mm VR mounted on the D80, with a male-to-male 67mm-52mm ring used to reverse mount my Nikon f/1.4 50mm to the front of the 70-300mm. I use the SB-800 off camera to get enough light. The only post processing was straightening (which meant slightly cropping) the image.
You can see the 50mm shot of the 500 Yen coin I used here.
Seen on a 100 rupee note. Shot with a reverse mounted 18-55 kit lens. Made a hole in the body cap and fixed a conversion ring to it to get a reverse lens adapter.

This is a hand-held double lens reverse macro shot taken with my Nikon 70-300mm VR mounted on the D80, with a male-to-male 67mm-52mm ring used to reverse mount my Nikon f/1.4 50mm to the front of the 70-300mm. The 70-300mm is set to 300mm, meaning (300mm:50mm) that I'm shooting at 6x magnification. (The image you see here is six times smaller than the sensor on the D80.)
In order to have any sort of usable DOF, the 70-300mm was set to f/40 by the D80, while the 50mm is manually set to f/1.4 with the aperture ring. I use an SB-800 off camera to get enough light. This is the unedited JPEG image, straight out of the camera.
In order to give you a better idea of the scale of this image, this is a finely knit polo shirt.

The skippers are commonly the small brownish butterflies that hop from flower to flower. They are characterized by relatively large eyes and closed wings at rest. Spreadwing skippers are the general exception to that rule. Was taking rest in my desk :D

Photo 175/365 - 24 June 2010.
This is what I will be smashing around tonight, feathers of a shuttlecock. Feeling a little nervous but at least I am not rushing around today. Elected to work from home to get my work done. Right now I am eating a light dinner and writing this up.
Aside from playing to win, I am mindful that next season I am not going to be playing full time for my team. So I am really hoping to go out on a high note after 5 years of full time commitment to them.
Interesting day in politics in Australia. Our Prime Minister has been deposed and we have our first ever female Prime Minister sworn in. Nacht der langen Messer. Interesting times ahead and that's all I will say to that now. :)
Doing photo catchups this weekend. I'm off to try and win a championship!

Does this count as bokeh?
Rain on a leaf, with a 50mm reverse macro.
HBW!

This is a pretty small flower, about an inch or so in diameter. Have been wanting to take a good flower macro for awhile. I'm happy with how this turned out as a first attempt.

Out of time!
Had the last of the birthing classes today, late dinner, late getting home, late everything. I was just setting up for a shot when the wife asked me to gift wrap some stuff for her urgently.
One of the guests from the weekend left a ciggy lighter behind and at the last minute I grabbed it and made a photo out of it.
Time to crash into bed again ... late ...
Here's another great picture i found in my Photo file and decided to upload it.
As I've said before their eyes are simply amazing things to photograph, finding this jumper under some wood seeking shelter from the rain, he looked out his little hole to get a good look at the camera before scuttling back off inside to keep well away from sight.
Taken with a 50mm Prime lens at F8 reversed on a set of macro extension tubes on a Canon550D camera body with an external flash connected to the camera via an off camera extension chord.

reverse macro taken with 75-300mm mounted on body and 18-55mm reversed hence only the circular spot being visible
This is double lens reverse macro shot taken with my Nikon 70-300mm VR mounted on the D80, with a male-to-male 67mm-52mm ring used to reverse mount my Nikon f/1.4 50mm to the front of the 70-300mm. The 70-300mm is set to 300mm, meaning (300mm:50mm) that I'm shooting at 6x magnification. That means the image you see here is on a scale six times smaller than the sensor on the D80...the entire frame of this uncropped image would be approximately 3.9 x 2.6 mm, meaning every millimeter in real life is represented by just under 1,000 pixels in the full image, and a square millimeter is represented by just under a million pixels. A lot of detail for not a lot of space.)
In order to have any sort of usable DOF, the 70-300mm was set to f/40 by the D80, while the 50mm is manually set to f/1.4 with the aperture ring. As you can see, most of the bug is still very much out of focus. I use an SB-800 off camera to get enough light. This is the unedited JPEG image, straight out of the camera.
I don't even know what bug this is, but you can see the bug lying on it's back, legs twitching, in this photo. This photo is the bug's back, zoomed on on the center of it's back.
