[photos] fun with macro, water drops, and DVDs
Nothing on TV last night, so decided to have some fun - macro
style. I've seen this done before, but never tried it myself. Just trying to get some abstract crazy colouring. I had no idea what colours were going to be created. And I wasn't expecting that weird halo sort of effect. Shame about the dust. The DVD looked pretty clean to the naked eye, but 2:1 lifesize and flash shows it up unfortunately. All shot at about 2:1 lifesize with full set of Kenko extension tubes and 100mm macro lens.

Next time I am bored, I'll give that a try. -- Troy Piggins I always appreciate critique. |

I sort of like the dust - somehow makes them look organic or something, although the rather large amount does cast aspersions about your clean room hi-fi environment... I have some rather interestingly 'damaged' cd's that might become rather photogenic when treated thusly. I might return to this thread later.. |

Not too many bugs around for macro shooting. And this can be done in the warmth of your own home. I sort of like the dust - somehow makes them look organic or something, although the rather large amount does cast aspersions about your clean room hi-fi environment... Ha. Actually I'm pretty anal about keeping my CDs and DVDs clean from dust and scratches. This was a DVD that hadn't burned correctly and I had salvaged from the bin so I couldn't potentially damage one of my real DVDs. I have some rather interestingly 'damaged' cd's that might become rather photogenic when treated thusly. I might return to this thread later.. Look forward to it. I want to try some different lighting angles to see if any other colours appear, or if it's always the same. This was just with my normal macro rig, flash top left of lens. -- Troy Piggins I always appreciate critique. |

Coincidentally, the other day I got my reverse mount in the mail, and spent a night playing with that and my 18-55 at 18. This was part of my testing, not an attempt at art! http://blinkynet.net/stuff/reversed_...eedle_3333.jpg Normal sized needle and thread. Background is silk. It was fun experimentation and my first macro[1] attempt with the D60... ....then, as I was heading for bed I spied a spider in the bathtub. I chased him around for a while. He won. [1] Shooting a ruler, my first testing, showed I was getting 4:1. -- Blinky Is your ISP dropping Usenet? Need a new feed? http://blinkynet.net/comp/newfeed.html |
