Boss photos you've taken

What's the depth of field at 2:1 magnification, something like 0, 3mm?
I sometimes struggle with my nifty fifty while taking artsy flower pics.

Depth of field - I daren't think about it. Tiny. Miniscule. Millimeteres around 1, 2 and 3, yes...

Here's an angle shades moth caterpillar taken with the Venus lens. It's going to take awhile sorting focus and light out. First four with the ring flash attached to the lens. The last one is with the softbox held off camera.

It's half time in the match and still 0-0 against Leicester.

Time for a lunch break?



I saw an image in a magazine and asked the wife to get me some toms with stalks on. She duly obliged, and I removed all but one stalk.

Here's a couple of takes on the subject using the Venus lens - all taken with natural light from the window, with a reflector to the right hand side to bounce light back into the shadows.

It's been very cold out tonight, and has been hail stoning too, and there is plenty of that around on the ground. I think it may have been the reason this wolfie stayed and posed for a couple, but I had to crop in the end, as I couldn't get the lens any closer because of the ring-flash and the lump of stone she was on, plus it was at near ground level, and my knees and the cold floor don't get on very well any more...

A few taken today, all these were on the same piece of wood which I had carried into the kitchen to get out of the very cold biting wind. All taken on the Venus 2:1 lens, with flash, or natural light, or a combination of both!

This is our resident male frog in the small pond in my garden. I call him Arnold.

You can see him taking in a bit of sun here, and in the second one, I'm there in the eye...

This was a smallish one, so I actually put my 21mm extension tube and still cropped it a little bit to get rid of what you can see in the second shot taken at 2:1 magnification...

I used the diffused ringflash ( Version 1 Beta... )

Oh to be a fly on the wall....


Oft said - and here is why - a fly on the wall...

First one is the original view through the camera, with the lens as close as I could reach at first - and then the fly moved a little bit nearer, and I started to move my tripod into various (awkward) positions to try and vary the angles a bit more to create some variety - all the while getting a bit nearer.

Note, some rotation and crop involved as well as a two extension tubes to finish with...

All round about f/11, @ ISO 160, 200th sec
