weedidas Trichome Photography - Sharpest, Closest Macros Yet

weedidas · #1 (**permalink**) 10-20-2009, 05:58 AM

Been a while, but I've also been without my main lens for TWO fucking months! Long story short: dropped lens, it broke, looked around for weeks, no stores had it, (discontinued), waited weeks, drove hours to another city to order it, waited few more weeks, picked it up.

I could have saved a shit load of hassle, time, frustration by getting the new better version that was available but I didnt know it was better so I waited for the old one. Stupid decision and I'm still pissed about but at least I have the old one now.

SHARPEST ONES YET! All my macros before these have been blurry, just accidentally figured out that it was to do with the aperture size on the reversed lens. Nikon D40, reversed 18-55mm, homemade ext tube, bounced flash and other techniques. If I make a bigger tube, I think I'll get more magnification, try that next time.

Here are the 10 best out of the 60 that I kept out of the 250 pics that I took last night. I want a true macro lens now lol.

100% crop. Most pics where still a lot sharper though. Would be cool to get this magnification in a full size pic.

An old bud, all amber on the inside

Started playing with lighting and background more.

I have a D50.

Can you teach me how to do this? Seriously?

These are among the best pictures I have ever seen. In my life. Ever. Serious.

I'd rep you but I can't (need to rep others) so I'll 5* your thread. This is SICK.
