First Try Macro

morlandroger · 03-05-2008, 19:32

Borrowed my more attractive half's tubes to try out macro. Used a lot in film but first digital try out. C&C please.

PS. You may notice the strange similarity to another members's shots.

It's true love when Roger and Nellie share the same tulip.

Not much wrong with that pic, except maybe the highlights are blown around the edge. Focusing seems good.

Thanks Silky
Taken in daylight so lost a bit round edges to get the inside.

Oi! It firmly wasn't as much the tulip, as HIM getting his paws on MY extension tubes..."ooh, you would find them really useful,love". They hadn't been in the house 5 mins before they were fastened on to his camera ...humph.
Arms folded firmly
Yours grumpily

And I PLANTED the tulip bulb and I decided to PHOTOGRAPH it, with my Manfrotto tripod (he's very jealous about that purchase) and he decided to go al fresco without his much inferior tripod.
HENCE - Morland Roger, your much inferior, frothy edges on MY tulip.
HTH (no harshness intended- just trying to guide you in the right direction)

AKA - stop getting me to buy the kit

And I'm guessing that you'll get custody of the tulip! But, hey, don't let me get in your way.........

Silkstone Inc Mediation Services here...

Buy another tulip.

If absolutely necessary, buy another set of tubes.

Tubes: £70. Solicitors: £2m an hour. Tulips: from Amsterdam.

Makes sense to me.
