Here are a few that I took using a reverse lens adapter (poor man's macro lens). Oh...I also got to use my new Manfrotto tripod and ball head. I am really liking them.
A reverse lens adapter is an adapter that allow you to reverse your lens on your camera...kinda like looking through a pair of binoculars backwards. This allows you to be able to take really close up photos.
I used my 35mm prime lens and an external speedlight. Ideally you want to be able to control your aperture. The objects were items I had around my desk. Yes I always have gears and screws around my desk, not to mention, springs, electric motors, screwdrivers,... all things mechanical... after all I am a Mechanical Engineer. (That reminds me I need to take a photo of my belt, you all would get a kick out of it) What's funny is that most of these items Paula found in my pockets before washing.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoy these photos.

Good thing Paula checks you pockets otherwise you be replacing the washer and drier every two years.
ReplyDeleteThe two B&W shots are my favorites.
I finally got the old blog pulled down and the new one set up. The new one is still a bit sparse but I going to fix that during the week but putting up some photo form the old blog. Here is the link:

Eight weeks and counting to restarting the one photo a week project. I hope you still plan to join in.
Thanks Rich..
ReplyDeleteNice work on the new blog. Its looking good.
With this project I had to get use to adjusting my position to maintain focus, since that is the only way too. The 1st B&W photo is my personal favorite.
Count me in on the one photo a week project. Looking forward to the challenge.
