Macro Mania!!

[Viky]

Hi,

I realized I'd been reading up too much on macro lately without actually doing much shooting...

So, decided to attempt some real macro work this Sunday.... I don't own a real macro lens, yet, armed with a high tech DIY diffuser;) and the $18 28mm FD vintage lens, I decided to spend a few hours at the local park..

Ended up getting some half decent shots..

#1 A Closer Look into The Sunflower

#2 Playing with DOF

#3 Mr Spider - all of 10mm long!

#5 Another angle on the Spider... looks pretty scary at this magnification!

#6 Eight eyes on a 2mm x2mm Head! God is such a craftsman!

And finally, my Hi-Tech DIY extender and Diffuser – A must for all the reverse 28mm shots!

*In this photo, the diffusion paper has been torn off by a bush!

All images have EXIF intact. pls check the same for the detailed shooting parameters like Shutter Speed, Aperture & ISO. Where exif shows aperture as f/0, means this photo was created with the reverse 28mm and the camera did not recognize the presence of any lens.

Thanks for looking! C & C Welcome!
