Seeing Red

Any Good?

Very good, of course. I understand you basically use the same technique as Marc Plonsky, i.e. a 50mm lens mounted reversed on the G5 zoom lens as a close-up diopter. I would like to know more of your technique, particularly of the light source. The DOF does not seem as large as in some of Plonsky's pictures, are you using the smallest diaphragm?

Michele, thanks for your comments..This shot wasn't taken using a flash so i had to knock it down a stop which resulted in a lesser DOF. I took the shot handheld while i moved the leaf(and spider)until they hit the "sweet spot" on my LCD.

Why not follow Mark's technique and use a flash and a diffuser to give more posibility to use s

maller aperture to increase DOF?

 

Will do..Just saving up the $$$$'s
