thought i'd post up some new macro shots i recently took. the only thing about macro that i don't really like is that it makes you see how dirty certain things can be, like watches. 1. http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...ytron/pan2.jpg 2. http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...ytron/pan1.jpg 3. http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...ron/omega2.jpg 4. http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...ron/omega1.jpg 5. http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...ron/hamann.jpg |

From here: "Light Bulbs — In photo and theater-lighting speak these are simply called “lamps”. You should get proper photoflood lamps from a photo supplier, rather than using the 300W lamps from the hardware store. Two common types are ECA (250W) and ECT (500W) — both of these burn at a color temperature of 3200 Kelvin, which is the standard color of photographic tungsten lights. Some people like to use daylight-balanced CFL lamps, but there is a tradeoff. The lights don’t generate as much heat, but their color rendition is poor compared to tungsten lamps. For any of the science-minded who may dispute this, I suggest you look at the spectral output of both: CFLs are a pretty much a picket fence, while incandescents are mostly continuous (though admittedly biased toward IR). The high-powered fusion of the sun puts out a mostly continuous spectrum, overlayed with Fraunhofer spikes, and this is what our eyes (and our camera sensors) are designed for. Gaps in the output spectrum of CFLs cause some colors to be rendered unnaturally, so it’s better to use a continuous-spectrum source." Is this a big deal? I looked online and their prices for the bulbs aren't $ at all. Anyone tried these or get them locally? |
We have the ECT & ECA bulbs at Beau as well as the daylight balanced CFL's. The tungsten bulbs do not last very long....about 6 hours, and have a nasty habit of exploding on occasion. I had one explode on me one, and a model had just stepped away from the light. The broken shards of glass actually melted the carpet when they landed. Can you imagine if she was in front of the light when it exploded? This is why I personally will never use them. The CFL's are ok for most uses, but if you're hyper critical about colour, then you may not want to use them. The best constant lights out there right now seem to be the HMI lighting. They take about 8 minutes to warm up, but are a constant 5600K and are intense. We have the Joker 400W & Joker 800W lights, and they are amazing - light output is 2000W & 4000W tungsten equivalent, but power draw is only 5.5 amps & 12.5 amps respectively. Of course they cost $5000+ to purchase, but we do rent them. http://www.k5600.com/home.html |

Paid $400CAD in HK, and can sell my 17-40 haha |

would using reverse lens for macro work with 2x kit lens?? |

It's been a while since I've posted. So busy with everything it took me a month to edit 10 photos lol Here's a macro from Granville Island. Haven't shot anything in over 6 months :( Time to bring this thread back to life! http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5143/...748d2da0_b.jpg |

this is the GHETTO reverse Prime 50mm setup haha... as in taking the lens off and physically holding it backwards thanks RCUBED =P http://www.sfu.ca/~cjs9/Pictures/room/MACRO/002.JPG http://www.sfu.ca/~cjs9/Pictures/room/MACRO/003.JPG http://www.sfu.ca/~cjs9/Pictures/room/MACRO/004.JPG http://www.sfu.ca/~cjs9/Pictures/room/MACRO/005.JPG |
It's a technique called 'free lensing.' |
thx thx :P |
|
Nice, did you tie it yourself? |
not mine, way too symmetrical ...:D |
first shot with my new ring flash. i still have no adapter to fit it to my lens, so i had to hand hold it to do this. getting hold of a 72C Canon adapter is proving to be a challenge. anyways, i biased the flash ratio over to the right side, to get a shadowing effect, pretty good results. http://www.epicdevelopements.com/wp-...testflower.jpg |
another tester today with the MR-14EX, but out in the real world, my back yard, haha! damn wind sucks! http://www.epicdevelopements.com/wp-...04/spider1.jpg |
