Macro shots w/ the lens extensions
Sep 21, 2016 16:45:20 #
I got the 10mm and the 16mm macro tubes and started playing around with them. Never knew this was such an exact science. One minute it's out of focus and bam! then it's in focus.
I wondered which one looked good enough to do some post processing on?
BTW, in case you're wondering what this is...It's something similar to the wisps on a dandelion after it dries up...I found it clinging to one my plants outside the house.
The darn thing just would not stop blowing long enough to get a sharp picture even with a higher shutter speed.. I almost like the movement in the second pic but the longer I look at it ...it just looks out of focus :(

Macro-photography is quite different from standard photography. Every movement is exaggerated; Depth of Field is nearly non-existent; exposures are exasperating!
Which is exactly why we started the True Macro-Photography Forum at http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/s-102-1.html .
Drop by sometime, to ask specific questions about technique, equipment, settings, etc., or to just admire macro work by fellow Hoggers.

Out of curiosity, what is the time delay between shutter depression and image capture of your Sony ILCE-6300? I am NOT familiar with mirrorless cameras.

Geez, that 's a good question...I have no idea...

Annie B for the Sony ILCE-6300?
Shutter lag (full AF, wide/mid): 0.16 seconds
Shutter lag (full AF, with flash): 0.44 seconds
That said for micro a typical scenario Shutter lag (prefocused): 0.020 seconds
btw, Nikonian72 speaks with tenured wisdom...
The Forum he recommends is indeed a cornucopia of applied macro/micro technique and methodologies...
Albeit there is likely very little universal agreement on many of the technical aspects macro/micro work...
As with other crafts artisans unfortunately become "true believers" in the methodologies and workflow they use to the point of losing objectivity...
a.k.a. Trust, but verify...
As for image acuity? Have you consider deploying off camera flash?
by underexposing ambient the resulting the exposure will likely be far quicker than your shutter could provide...
Thereby freezing the object in time.... Just a thought...
thank you for sharing...

These are beautiful abstractions, wiggly subject notwithstanding. I had kinda put "macro" on the back burner. Now I can see I just have to keep trying, and that the problems and frustrations I had were not just my own.

I really like the movement from the wind. I'm glad you posted them. I think this is the first time I've ever felt that way about wind interference, but in this case, the movement from the wind lends a grace to them - hard to put into words.

Great images!!!!!!
What focal length lens are you using ?
Sep 23, 2016 10:12:00 #
From embedded camera data
Lens: Sony FE 28mm F2.0
Focal Length: 28mm (35mm equivalent: 42mm)
Albeit the 10mm and/or 16mm extension tube(s) may alter the perceived focal length...
Totally agree Annie B, compelling compositional elements...
Hope this helps...
