About Poor man's macro: low-end digital camera (Canon A75) + lens taken from a broken 50mm f/2.8 lens + homemade plastic adapter + homemade flash 'guide' :)
($0 for this extra stuff).
As most of my pictures will be full frame, I decided to post this one as 100% crop to show the resolving power of this lens :)
I apologize for the high level of grain but due to bad weather the shot had to be taken at higher ISO (200). It was extremely hard to bring the lens to just 3cm from the fly :)
This is how the extra macro lens assembly looks like:

Impressionante! Ottimo lavoro.
Ciao


Domjan Svilkovic   {K:3104} 1/12/2005
Thank you!
I love doing macro photography with A75 as it is an excelent camera for it. It has a small CCD which is normally a bad point but it is actually good for macro photography (quite a deep DoF - 3mm?).
Also, it has a not so fast lens (normaly a bad point) but this way I can use inexpensive f/2.8 addon lenses and still see the full frame (on the Canon G series I would have to buy a expensive f/1.8 lens).
Canon A95 would be far better but I couldn't aford it.

This is really amazing photography, Domjan. You have proven visually that one does not need a lot of mega pixels or expensive cameras to produce outstanding photos. Congratulations on a great macro and your ingenuity in building the equipment to do it with.

Regards, Jimmy


Domjan Svilkovic   {K:3104} 1/13/2005
Thanks Jimmy!
I am just a beginner but I do hope to encourage other people with low-end digital equipment to go and experiment with lenses they have (from old SLR lens, binoculars, looking glass or any other concave lens). It's really loads of fun!

Complimenti per l'attrezzatura fatta in casa,il dettaglio è impressionante! Per avere buoni risultati ciò che è veramente indispensabile è la creatività e l'occhio fotografico.


B:)liana    {K:30945} 1/17/2005
wow.. detalji ociju su odlicni!! ali ima ona poznata noise u pozadini i ja imam iste probleme!
I ja sam sama napravila reverse lens i nakacila socivo na moj G3, mozes da vidis moju Muhu/ My Eyes, to je uradjeno sa macro + reverse lens!
Samo napred! Hvala na interesovanju za moj Macro!
Puno pozdrava iz Beograda i sretna nova 2005.
Biliana


Domjan Svilkovic   {K:3104} 1/17/2005
Hvala ti Biliana! Tvoje macro fotke su STVARNO dobre, pogotovo one sa vodom i mjeruricima. Dobro je tu netko rekao da si ti glavna za mjerurice na ovom siteu :)
Pogledao sam tvoju muhu i super je.
Meni je vjerojatno malo lakse slikati macro fotke jer mi je objektiv totalno lagan (mozda 1/10 tezine fotica) posto sam ga rastavio i uzeo jedino lece.


B:)liana    {K:30945} 1/17/2005
oh, ti si skroz rastavio socivo! Bravo, ja nisam smela jer je to tatino ;-)
Hvala najlepse, a ti samo nastavi tako, na dobrom si putu!
Pozdrav, Biliana

Excellent. Nivo digitalnog suma mozes smanjiti obradom fotke u Fotosopu, postoje gotovi plug-inovi za to recimo Alien skin-ov image doctor :-).


Geza Farkas   {K:12412} 1/18/2005
Ps Vracam ti sliku posle primene plug-ina.



Domjan Svilkovic   {K:3104} 1/18/2005
Ne koristim Photoshop pa ti stvarno ne znam za te plugine. Ono sto jesam probao je Neat no svako peglanje shuma gubi i detalje na ocima pa sam odustao.


Gabriele Pfund   {K:11745} 2/6/2005
Yes, the grain disturbs a bit, but nevertheless it's a great one; perspective is top, the details on the right eye fantastic and the choice of b&w works also very well here. Very good!


Rich  Swanner   {K:-3169} 3/2/2005
That is a point about my Canon 300D DOF is not as great as the smaller cameras. Hi! from my friend! Big 7 to you.



Domjan Svilkovic   {K:3104} 3/2/2005
Hi monterey! Small cameras do have a few advantages but, on the other hand, I would LOVE to have a usable ISO400! :) You can't have everything, I guess.
