Used 18-55mm kit lens. Used lens reversal techinique. Yet to buy a Macro

Hi guys !

Was going through my macro folder and stumbled across this photo. Thought it was worthy of an upload so edited it a bit before posting.

This little jumper provided me some fantastic images around September of last year. I used a 28mm reversed onto extention tubes as he was tiny. The species is something I'm not sure of but they are much better than Salticus scenicus In my opinion :)

11/52 I went out to grab my photo of the week today with only 5 percent battery (my 11 year old was taking hundreds of photos of her cuddlies with my camera earlier and I didn't realise my battery was so low) it was a race against time before the camera died!! I took a few 'safe' macro shots then started to play about with freelensing again.. a burst of sunshine and here we have this which looks like it has been processed in a painterly fashion but this is almost sooc - just a few tweaks in Lightroom. Reverse freelensing makes my heart skip and my normal macro look so dull!!

This wild flower the total diameter is approximately 3mm.

With the 10mph wind, one can imaging not as easy to get the sharp result like this.

I regards this as a great achievement.

Thanks for your visit & Fave.

tiny bud and a raindrop. Shot with hand held reverse macro.

one year ago today, i joined flickr and posted the first photo. i was excited, but never imagined that i would meet so many great photographers and wonderful friends here (and that i would even have a chance to meet some of them in person!). since i started flickr, thanks to all of you, my world has widened and my everyday life has become happier.

thank you my dear friends, i really adore your amazing photos and i really appreciate your kind friendship. THANK U ALL!!!

i send you the good luck from four-leaves clover here :)

Tetragonula sp, Family: Apidae

Tiny 5mm bee shot at 2.5x magnification with Reversed lens

Tetragonula is a subgenera of the genus Trigona. The subgenus Tetragonula includes about 30 other stingless bee species that are found in Oceania, in countries such as Australia, Indonesia, New Guinea, Malaysia, Thailand, The Philippines, India, Sri Lanka, and The Solomon Islands.

The honey of Tetragonula is a rich source of antioxidant flavanoids. This is because workers collect honey from medicinally important herbal plants and flowers. The quantity of honey produced is a relatively small 600-700 grams per year is a rich source of antioxidant flavanoids.

Freelensing: because a few dust spots can't scare me! Well, OK. They kinda do, but dangerous living is my new thing ;) I love free lensing & the realization that the D600 meters w/ the lens detached is as close to euphoria as I've come in a while!

Reverse Macro shot of a tree root

My sister called me over this morning to the car bonnet (green) and pointed out this beautiful green Moth. I put him in a small container and went to school.

When i got back he was ok, but i gave him some fresh air and some honey. He fed on the honey for a bit whilst i got some photos of him but they weren't as good i knew i could get.

A while later he popped onto my finger and i placed him on the stacking rail. Never before had i done a live insect stack but it was brilliant as he didn't seem to move very much, only slightly to clean some honey off his hairs.

This is a stack of around 75 photos in total with 2x Lamps diffused and the 50mm Prime FD lens reversed onto some extension tubes. Stacked through Zerene Stacking Program Dmap.

He was quite a large size, 2cm so i didn't need much magnification, but he is, by far, the most colourful and hairy moth i have seen to date !

I also didn't have to add any vibrance to the photo, this is literally how colourful he is :D i might upload some more of his back, his leaf life camouflage is just superb !

Don't worry, he's still alive and sucking more honey before i let him go later...

Also, i think it is a Green Silver-lines Moth... not sure, Correct me if i am wrong :)

If anyone is interested, i am trying to get my Facebook fan page to 100, i am close, please visit me at www.facebook.com/pages/Francis-Priors-Macro-Photography/1...

thanks!

I had another opportunity to have a go at doing a macro image stack, using a common housefly I caught a few days ago.

It amazes me, just how many colours are present on this fly - it's quite incredible to think that we never see the fly at this level of detail!

This image has been made from a stack of only 24 raw files. The images were taken on a Sony Alpha A55 camera, mounted on some M42 bellows, with a 50mm lens reversed on the other side.

There is probably plenty which can be improved about this image, however, I don't consider the individual frames sharp enough to produce an amazing result, so spending time on other artefacts is not of such importance.

2nd attempts

My daughter has been slowly working on an altered book that is full of meaning. A few months ago, she typed a page full of words on an old typewriter, planning to cut up the page and use the words in her book.

I pulled out the typewriter today to photograph it and found the page was still in the carriage, and these perfect words were behind the guide: soulful girl.

I shot this with my 50mm f/1.8 lens reversed (reverse lens macro instructions here)

I had meant this photo to be for today's Picture Winter prompt ("The Magic Machine"), but after I uploaded it to the computer, I realized she wanted a photo of my actual computer, not any old typing machine. It doesn't matter. This accident felt serendiptious. So I will use it as my first entry for the 100 Words project: Serendipitous

Also for Erika's A Week of No Color

Okay -- I've decided to use it for Picture Winter after all.

Eretmocera impactella, Family: Scythrididae

Hi guys !

I used the 50mm FD Prime for this one, so not much magnification at all.

192 Shots, stacked Pmax only ( too hairy ) Lit up with 2x LED lamps and diffused through some printing paper and backdrop is some blue card lit up by the lamps.

This is by far one of my better Bee stacks, my last one was pretty unsuccessful, partly because it was decaying under the lens :D

Have a great week all !

D30 reverse lens macro (2001)

Hey all.

I'd firstly like to say i found a Salticus Scenicus, healthy, good size and inquisitive enough to know what the camera lens is, so i'll have some high magnification shots of him in the next week or so, can't wait since it's been months since i have came across one !! But more about that later, for now i want to talk about this 'spider'.

I found this 5mm crab spider under the same rock as the beetles, it's like the rock is manufacturing interesting things for me to photograph recently... He was walking sideways to get away from me, so i knew it was a crab spider ( hence the name ) and i wondered what eye structure it had, and since i have never seen anyone on Flickr produce high mag photos of these spiders i thought i'd give it a go...

Again i shoot live insects so he fussed a lot and ran away - this always frustrates me but i manages to keep my cool and eventually after an hour i got 12 photos worth stacking, this is the finished product above. I used photoshop to stack the images and increase Contrast/Vividness/Colour to help it's features stand out.

It's eye structure is not nearly as impressive as a jumping spiders, but i think i'll keep investigating these spiders as he seemed very aware of his surroundings and was quite instinctive when i shone the light on him to find shade as quickly s possible as they have eyes much more sensitive to ours and more of them.

I will continue my search for an interesting Crab Spider known as the White Crab Spider (Thomisidae) which i am sure is in the UK.

If you look below you can get an idea of how small this guy was and some other photos of him being very still for the camera !

Hi guys !

Yet another stack using the 50mm Prime on some Bellows ( which have now taken a turn for the worse )

This image is 2 stacks combined, the wings for one and the head another, all in all 360 shots were taken with a 0.6 exposure time.

Difficulties came with the reflective eyes for this stack, no matter how much you diffused the light, the light would be reflected more than i wanted it to be in some places.

Something I may mention is that, in around a month I won't be able to do anymore stacks as I will be sharing a room in University. Over the next month therefore, I'll be doing as many stacks as I can as from University onwards I'll have to do outdoor macro with the flash etc...

Any comments are apprecited, thanks for the great response on the moth photo !
