An old electronic plate seems to be a good subject for some macro shoot.
Heide Egerman got me playing around with some macro. Check out her tries for macro.
This first try is done with the reverse lense method. Only my nifty is not quite suited for this method, because I can not control the aperture it stays wide open at f1.4 and yes I have an aperture ring.
My second try is done with some tubes and with these I can control my aperture and have much more sharpness. Sadly I do not have an macrolens yet , so could not try that out.
Just a good bit of fun, for the reverse lens method I have to invest in an old completly manual lens, there are plenty around on the secondhand market.
#1 is a cool shot . With a reverse ring you have an razor thin depth of field. It is something even at f22 you still do not increase it much. To get more in focus takes patience and focus stacking .(a series of shots that the focal point is moved so you get an image when the shots are combined that has a larger depth of field. #2 I like the lines in this shot .
Thank you Russel. I hope to buy this year a macro lens. #1 is my personal favourite
