ps Attila, don't know if it would be expensive or a hassle, but having the
skin a dark grey would be nice for the forum.

Both are great images, Bill!
You are becoming a real macro master, very fast!
However I seem to detect some motion blur in the first image. If you used tripod then perhaps it's a mirror shake problem. Does you camera allow for mirror lockup? _________________ Orio, Administrator

Orio, I don't think the e300 has MLU, but will check. No tripod on these,
which would have been helpful. I changed out the first one with another
that is a little better in focus, still off just a little, and has a bug on the
flower. Was vacillating about deleting that pic entirely.
Thanks for your comments,
Bill |

Oh Bill, please don't delete! The image is really good, no problem of blur and I find the bug a nice addition.
The composition is very effective for this image. You select composition very well.
The handheld shot explains it all. You really should use tripod for this type of photograph I think, because you need to stop down - unless you have a lot of light, but in that case, it would probably be too much light for a good image, because for this subject to have subdued light gives a lot more atmosphere (in my opinion). _________________ Orio, Administrator

Thanks, Richard, too kind. I just won on ebay two more of these lenses
for $9.95 each: 135/4.5 and 50/4.5, Tominon brand.
Another pic today, still experimenting, stopped down to f11 or f16 and
Shutter Priority at 1/200sec., yeah, yet another daisy pic, but they're
available and easy. Also handheld, need to drag out the tripod.

Dave, thanks for your kind and insightful comments! The focusing tube
and Tominon lens has really opened up a new world for me! Want to thank
Luis for this great idea, and of course Veijo's work has been an inspiration.
I've been practicing taking shots where no cropping is involved, whatsoever,
and this type setup works well for this. These two cat pics, yes, the first is
not in focus, but I like the effect, and the 2nd one is not quite there, either,
but for same reason:
These two are not gallery quality, and I can take them down and place them in the manual focus lens thread.
