Macro Handmade

Fri, 28 May 2010 19:46:31 +0200

It was interesting experience: using of own hands instead of macro-rings. The idea is very simple.

— unmount your lens from camera body;

— set exposer with manual aperture ring and camera shutter;

— then put your lens near camera mount and move it between camera and object;

There are also few details: you need to cover space between lens and camera with some fabric for hiding camera sensor from ambient light. And finally you need much time for experiments with focus ring and distance to object. I've spent about 10 mins before took my first sharp shot :-)

In any case it's a good practice for better understanding of optics and general physics of light.
