When Boredom Strikes

Hmmm. A pile of brand new pencils at work. Camera in the truck. It just had to be done.

Guess what it is. The large version is much clearer and easier to see. As per Ellen's request, click here to see the color version.

Just playing around with stopping fast moving drops of water.

This is the setup for the extreme close-up work. 300mm lens mounted on the camera with a 60mm lens reversed and stacked on the 300mm. The 60mm macro lens mounted normally on the camera makes a 1X magnification. This setup makes a 5X magnification.

First attempt at photographing snowflakes. 70-300mm lens mounted on camera with a 60mm stacked and reversed. SB-800 flash off camera.

This is not a giant needle with rope threaded through it. It is actually the smallest needle I have. This photo has not been cropped from the original. This was taken with my 70-300mm lens mounted on the camera with my 60mm lens reversed & stacked on the end of the 70-300mm. This is getting close to a microscope. At 5X magnification it gets extremely difficult to focus on the subject. You can see the setup on the first picture of the equipment gallery. (click here to see the setup)
