Congratulations for that shot, great sharpness on the most important parts.
I just have problems with the software-sharpening which you applied a bit too much for my taste (on my screen all the hairs of the fly look too "pixely").
Cheers
Tobias

Looks great. By the way, what's a macro diffuser? I heard of ring flash and twin ring flashes but this is my first time to hear about a macro diffuser.

Thank you all!
@ Tobias: I know what you mean about over-sharpening; on a Dutch pentax forum I posted this photo with just that question: is this one over sharpened or not....
@ Carlo: I have a tubular diffuser/snoot for macro photography, homemade, just for less than 2 USD, I estimate. I posted photos of it before in my spider thread: here. Don't know how to call it....

@RenseH: Thank you. Man, that's great. That just shows that we don't need to buy expensive gears to take good photos. I only used a mirror to bounce the light from the pop-up flash to the celing in my Skids toy photo

That's really cheap Scott! Mine is Komine made, I think, and I don't know about the M42 variant. To answer your question: don't know exactely, but it focusses down to 6", and this one was made at about 1:1.... It's an 80% crop (for me a confusing term, I mean: I kept 80% of the length an width of the pic.... )

What aperture did you use? I guess f/11 or 16?
@Scott you scored a heck of a deal. Mine is M42 too and I paid 80$. M42 tends to be more expensive that the other ones. I've seen them going to 120-140$. |
