An interesting topic is macro photography. If you have a good macro on your camera, that may be all you need. But how about getting a little closer. I've put a few pics together to show you how. Macro close up.
Kildale, you have probably said in previous postings but I don't remember, but are you using a digital camera with auto-focus? I'm trying to shop for a newer/better camera and the people to whom I've talked, so far, don't know what I mean by 'macro photograpghy'; well, I guess that's to be expected in today's world.. Soooo, I suppose my question relative to your 'macro tip' is were you using auto-focus throuch the eye loupe? Hank
I use two Olympus cameras. They are SP-570UZ macro to 20 times zoom, and SP 550UZ macro to 18 times zoom. I have two others also, a minolta and a fugi, the fugi is one of the bigger models. The SP 550UZ has a 'my setting' mode which I have set at macro. I simply use this in the woods etc. and simply switch the dial to 'my' and thats it. I don't play about with any other settings and none of my diggy cameras have been on a tripod. That may not be a good thing, but I don't always get 30 minutes to set up a camera on one to take a bird shot or an insect.
If I can't get a really close-up shot with my camera I have a couple of crafting lenses that I use to put on top of stuff I want to get pictures of. It works well and is very similar to your loupe. One is 5x and the other 10x magnification. If anyone ever opens my camera bag they're going to wonder what all the 'miscellaneous' objects I have in it are all about. I now have a mirror and a reflector to add to my collection - thanks to you. :-D
That is a great tip, unfortunately I have one of those Kodak easy shares and it just won't work that way. I wish it did though.
