I'm new to macro photography (just bought the equippement for it) and

so there is a lot of these pictures in my portfolio. I hope you all

can give me some pointers on this type of photograpy. With a reversal

ring set it is difficult to get a decent DOF. I however find it

facinating to see small objects and animals in a much larger scale,

and to be able to see the details in these that I haven't seen

before.

Thank you for your comment Dan. You are absolutely right. The original is darker, the brightness on my monitor wasn't calibrated good enogh when I scanned the picture.-20 brightness in Photoshop makes it look better. :)

Beautiful picture. Is the effect Duotone in photoshop?

This is not an manipulated picture.

The colors aren't great I know, but I like the zooming effect on the

picture. Comments are welcome.

This picture is a bit cold, as is most of the pictures in this folder. When the sun start to go down the light turns blue. It is possible to correct this to a certain degree by adding red and yellow to your pictures.

This picture is a bit cold, is it intentional.

If it is not you can improve the colors by adding +20 red and +20 yellow in photoshop.

Crop it, and I'll love it :)

I'm impressed. You are on both sides of the camera and you excells in skill, beauty and creativity. Great work, thank you for sharing your work with us.

This was taken with my Nikon F-70 and a reverse adapter ring set on a

nikkor 35-80 lens.

I felt this picture got more impact after making it a quadtone

picture in Photoshop. It's not much of a difference, but still, I

think this i better than the original.

Sorry about the bird. However, it is an exceptionaly good picture. The colors, the sharpness, the composition, I'm awestruck by the beauty in this picture.

I don't understand how you do it, excellent.

It gives me a feeling of Star Wars.

If you take a look at the walls from the building in the left corner it has the same structure as the wings of the TIE fighter.

(oops, I came out as a total Star Wars fanatic there, didn't I).

Anyway, great shot.

It really was excellent in color as well. Just as I thought.

Excellent, beautiful and artistic.

A MASTERPIECE. .

I bet the colored one is an eyecatcher as well (Photoshop IS a great tool).

But in the end it's the photographer and the nature that makes the magic come true. :)

I agree, it's a bit dark.

Hmm... the words "Hit me babe one more time" comes to mind, oh, and also "Oops I did it again".

Hope you have any comments on this picture.

I've got one word for this picture, FABULOUS!!!

I see that you have used T-Max B/W.

Did you develop this yourself?

If so, you are a true artist and master.

Light painting?

This is an excellent picture. I would love to have it explained in detail how you get the background so dark and the subject so clear.

 

Wow, looks like something from a fairytale. Love it.

This picture was taken by a window in the mid-day with no flash.

Nikon F-70, 35-80mm Nikkor lens.

If you have any comments about this picture, I would love to hear

them.

This picture was taken with an 3 sec. exposure time and flash on rear curtain. 1.5 sec. with hand open and 1.5 sec. with the hand closed.

Sharpen this just a little bit and it would be perfect
