ShunCheung Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Two photographers taking advantage of the evening sun. I am the one on the left and captured this image with a 18-35mm AF-S @ 18mm on an FX body. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Garrard Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I took Matt's "too close" theme as an indication that I should try out my Mitakon macro more thoroughly. After last week's lightning, there I was trying to photograph lichen, when this little guy wandered past. I assume it was the larva of something - it was just over 1cm long. Crawling around slowly is still quite challenging at 4x, and I was desperately trying to get a focal plane somewhere useful from about an inch away without getting so close that I smooshed it, so the framing's a bit awkward (this is the full frame). D850, Mitakon 20mm macro at 4x, 1/500s, f/22 (weird triangular aperture), ISO 25600, camera waving around by hand in live view. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Garrard Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Clearly that wasn't challenging enough - I switched to a different wooden fence post and, while trying for yet more lichen, realised these mites were wandering around it. They're about 1mm long - barely visible without looking for them. Fortunately they were small enough that I could prop the camera on the surface and drop the shutter speed - but I kind of had to wait for them to cross the focal plane. D850, Mitakon 20mm at 4.5x (cropped by about 4), 1/125s, f/22, ISO1250. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chulster Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 these mites were wandering around Now that is proper tiny! Funny how much they look like miniature spider crabs. Great capture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Garrard Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 The Mitakon is visibly sharper at f/2.8 (where diffraction is presumably a bit less of an issue), but... the depth of field is a bit tricky. I really must get out my macro rail rather than trying to wing it in the field, and do some stacking. D850, Mitakon 20mm at 4.5x, 1/125s, ISO320, f/2.8.

Andrew Garrard Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 what the heck - a quickie macro abstraction. By the way, it's going to bug me (heh) if I don't ask: Matt, what was that? I feel I should know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Laur Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 By the way, it's going to bug me (heh) if I don't ask: Matt, what was that? I feel I should know... Hah! I was wondering if somebody would actually wonder. That's a shot across a tray of brand new science-fiction-quality copper/resin composite 9mm projectiles designed to safely fragment (dispersing their energy immediately) without having the mass and other characteristics of a traditional hollow-point. Police and military working in urban areas are increasingly looking at these new technologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Garrard Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Well, that's nothing like what I was thinking of! (I don't really know what I was thinking, but it wasn't bullets.) Thanks. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
