Macro Photography
First attempts at Macro Photography.
Trial One:17-40mm Lenswith36mm Extension Tube
Individual False Mallow Seeds 2 mm Wide
False Mallow Seed Head 1 cm Diameter
Nerite Shell 8 mm Wide
Trial Two:70-200mm Lenswith Stacked36+20+12mm Extension Tubes
Lens is Parallel to Surface
Bermuda Sand Sample
2 mm WideIndividual False Mallow Seeds
False Mallow Seed Head 1 cm Wide
Shells from Fiji Sand Sample1 mm Wide x1.5 mm Long
8 mm WideNerite Shell
Preliminary Conclusions:
It appears that in order to do good macro photography, I am going to need better lighting. With better light, I can get better depth of field which means sharper images.
As far as the lens setups are concerned, the 17-40mm lens with the 36mm extension tube gives me large magnification at a short working distance. The 70-200mm with 68mm of stacked extension tubes provides increased working distance at the loss of magnification.
Advice would be appreciated...
