Hi Domjan, outstanding macro shot. creative solution with your gear, it seem to work very well! Excellent DOF, and the deep green and dark tones creat a very consistent and well balanced view throughout the image. Absolutely a top notch shot....
Cheers,
Hugo

It looks like creature from another world. Combination of its compact body with delicate legs gives strong impression. I like the way you combined different tones of green colours.

If you have a digital camera with a 'small lens' (f/2.8 or worse), you should be able to make a good super-macro addon lens.

This is how you can make a simple adapter for a Canon camera:

No, I am really not that smart. But, as Rutherford said:
"We haven't the money, so we've got to think." :)
It's really not that hard to build an adapter for a 50mm camera lens.

Ok, I am the same too, I used a lens infront my camera, so I could focus on 6X at the distance of 20 cm, this amazing, but I need a tripod, so see this photo I took it yesterday, it is my first drop.

The richness of color and clarity along with the great lighting makes this one of the best macro insect shots I have seen. Not to mention the excellent composition and DOF. Definitely a favorite-that you got these results as a beginner with patched together equipment is astonishing.

Great shot and congrats on the award. I am inspired to go out and find used damged lenses to experiment with.
However I do have to question whether that is really a Mosquito. Looks like it is some sort of long legged fly. He has no stinger.
Again, Really great photo!

Domjan Svilkovic

Thanks Pat! My goal is to incourage other people to experiment with low-end and homemade equipment. It's really not that hard.
I don't think all mosquitoes have a stinger. I think the males haven't.

I can't send you the photo because I don't have it. To take it I would have to use another camera which I don't have. Also, at the moment, I don't even have A75 as it is with my father on the buisiness trip.
Here is a photo of the macro lens ant the adapter:

This is what a South Dakota Mosquito looks like. However, I know nothing about mosquitoes other than they are are very anoying and carriers of West Nile fever.

Mene bas zanima ovaj Canon iz G serije sto si mi preporucio za makro na usenetu. Ne znam hoce li vrijediti kao uspijem iscupati objektiv iz ovoga http://www.classiccamera.org/werra%20camera.htm ili cu ipak morati kupiti objektiv od 50mm. Znas koji kvalitetan? Sorry na gnjavazi :)

Vidim da si fino slozio taj Macro... Ipak je to jeftinije od pravoga macro objektiva, ali kada trebas fotografiju za ispis na velikom formatu, onda ipak treba SLR i pravi macro objektiv... Sve u svemu fotke su odlicne!

Domjan Svilkovic
{K:3104} 3/14/2005

Bok Denis!
Pa to sto predlazes JE objektiv od 50mm! Samo, lijepo sam ti napisao da ti treba barem f/1.8, a mozda i brze za G seriju. Za A seriju je taj objektiv savrsen. Jos kada bih ga znao rastaviti...

I couldn't even begin to construct my own equipment and I barely understand your description of how you did. Feel pretty dumb. Great job. Regards, Andree

Can you pls. be so kind and send me more details regarding ur home made plastic adapter+ home made flash guide and also what do u mean about: "assembly taken from a broken 50mm f/2.8 film camera lens", broken?which kind of camera was?Only if I`m not asking too much, cause I`m really impresses by ur job here!
I tried a macro with mine canon A95 but without flash and with it`s original lens from canon 3x optical 38-114mm f/2.8-4.9 zoom; I have also a question I saw someone that said he used full zoom for a macro, I tried with mine and cannot focus to well the object and it isn`t clear anymore.
Pls drop me some lines if you have the possibilty at:crisy_crisy@yahoo.com;
by the way I started to take photos in November last year with a Canon A300,so I`m a begginer too.I saw the filter adapter that u built it but I need more info cause do not know too much to build myself, one like urs.
thank you in advance!

Featured Critique
Hello Domjan this shows it's the photographer behind the camera, not the technology! The image works well in what's really browns and greens. This simplicity makes the composition stronger. I recall eons ago where I made a close-up lens by taking apart an old wide-angle and tele auxillary lenses and switching the front and rear parts. This gave me 2:1 when mounted on front of my old Spotmatic II. I had to make a 49mm to series 6 stepdown ring in my high school machine shop. Experiment more, you are on the right track.

Good job, and congrats on this award!
I have often said that anyone can pay a bundle for the great equipment...BUT, not everyone who does this is able to 'see' the neat, appealing image. The true photographer should be able to take a fantastic image on simple equipment. Here, we see that you are a true photographer.
Nice composition, great colors! (hope this one isn't carrying 'West Nile'!!)

Let me first complete the formalities by giving you a 7/7 on this. :)
You see, I have the same kind of basic camera and lens, but would die to take a shot like this. Can you please explain a bit more to me, about the homemade macro equipment, so that I can also take some pictures like this ?
I will be ever indebted to you !
with sincere thanks,
