First attempts with new rig, thingie.

I came up with this bright idea to make myself a rail for macro and also i'm going to run it with a motor and do some time lapse pics, here are my first attempts at the macro

Great shots

Just joined the site.. perusing through. Great photos and great job on the custom rig. However, I thought the TOS said No Pornography?

You ought to be ashamed of yourself! Posting such a noisy photo...

Seriously though, that is a great photo of the wasp, and that was done with that extraordinary rig!

Back to the noise... is there really a lot of noise in the spider photo?

great photos! love it

There was a fair bit of noise and I tried getting rid of it in lightroom, next time i'll make sure I shoot at iso 400 or lower

Newer rig thingie, It's not finished, but here it is.

The rail isn't automated, actually its just a slider of types at the moment, I might run a threaded rod through it tomorow and see how that works, the light cost me $7 and is made from a bit of sign board machined to fit snugly on the end of my lens and then 24 4.9mm holes in it to hold the LED's, running off 4 rechargable AA batteries with nothing more than a couple of diodes to lower the voltage to safe levels.

I'll test it out tomorow.
