I was in a great debate about some closeup photos I took of a 1/4" flower... Most of the photo was out of focus was the cry... Well, yes, that is the nature of the beast called Macro, semi-Macro, and Closeup. Your fine photos prove that.

In #2 the subject has tilt, yep sure as heck DOF is limited... SO? The image tells us a lot about the snail and the center most is in-focus. You have told us about the small snail shell.

In sharp contrast #3 is flat to the plane of the sensor and thus for most of the photo the DOF challenge is not there and most of the photo is in focus. But the back side of the inside of the snail is not... that is to be expected. The choice of dark blue for the back ground is excellent and makes the shell really stand out. Kudos.

I think for one of the months in the Camera Club submissions I will title the photo, "Eliminating DOF Problems in Macro & Closeup Photography." I will crush a tomato flat and photograph it. With skill it will be recognizable as a tomato on dark felt fabric. Short of stacking images, squashing the subject flat is the only way.

I have two "Macro" telephotos that are not really Macro, just "close focus." I have tubes, but lately I have used a $20 58mm diameter 4 element 10x made by Optika attached to my Canon SX50 @ 100-200mm. The results are surprisingly good.

Your photos are excellent and in keeping with 101 you can view at:

Keep up the good work Larry.

Conversation a few weeks back about a $25 lens I had purchased not being a macro. It was suggested I try extension tubes so, here is my first effort. C and C welcome.

Does anyone have suggestion for a replacement of Aperture software. Apparently apple has abandoned the program and after os updates, Aperture is useless. Don't really need a super high tech system, and really don't want to get into a subscription program. Just some for the MacBook Pro laptop. Thanks in advance.


You might wish to check this article out. It has several programs, free and paid, available for your OS.

I recall the "rule" of using the reciprocal of the length of a lens as its minimum shutter speed ( 100 mm = 1/100). What I am having a difficult time understanding is WHY this would change from crop sensor to full frame.

I guess my difficulty in understanding this is what would be the relationship since the length of the lens has not changed. Light would not act any differently on the lens in either case. The difference would be how the sensor interprets the light, not how the lens impacted it.

A good exposure and focus would be the same with the lens on either sensor.

Perhaps, I am missing something or just plain misunderstanding some relationship. I hope some of our learned members can help clear this up.

Well! I would like to thank everyone who took the time to contribute to this discussion. I have a lot to chew on in the varied responses given. Again, thank you!

New Years day began with fog in the area. Began in Tarpon Springs where they will have the Epiphany Celebration (diving for the cross) next week; Pinellas Trail and then Booker Creek Preserve.

I am having a time trying to decide what camerase
Is better. I don't really want to break the bank but I want to find a camera that I can do videos as well as stills. I like taking closeups and scenery photos. I had a minolta old film camera and a Olympus SP570-UZ
I just need help with everyone's knowledge on what they have used and if they wish they had bought a.different camera.


I'd start here http://www.imaging-resource.com/cameras/canon/t5/vs/canon/t6i/

I am trying to avoid the forced update to Win 10. I was told that by turning off the automatic updates feature I can do this this. Where do I find this on a HP All In One running Win 8.1? And if I do this and am I still notified that updates are available so I can pick and choose.


You may want to check out this site http://github.com/rn10950/I-Dont-Want-Windows-10

I am running two computers on Win 10, My wife works from home with hers and since we are not sure her online work programs will work with Win 10, we removed update with this software. We felt this was necessary since Microsoft announced forced updates http://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/computers/item/21586-microsoft-forces-windows-10-upgrade-even-when-users-refuse-it

Whatever your reasons for not wanting Win 10, you might wish to explore these options.

This guy likes to sit in a tall (40-50 ft) Norfolk Pine in my yard. First is for reference (heavy crop) but other two I caught him last evening as we were leaving. He's been in the neighborhood for several weeks now. With any luck he will stay.

Thanks for looking! Ybor City is a small community within the city of Tampa( kinda like the french quarter in New Orleans)where Spanish and Italian immigrants used to live and work in the cigar industry at the turn of the 20th century. It's a laid back historical place where chickens roam free and all lifestyles are accepted.


And one big party at night!
