Love the DoF and the low-key of the shot. I wish that the eyes were both in focus, but given the difficulty of the shot itself, I'd have to say... mighty fine job

Thank you, I had hell trying to ghe him to look at the camera much less stay still for the shot. In order for me to have gotten both eyes I would have had to either remove a macro filter or shoot amaller aperture whitch I was really pushing my luck with to beginwith I think I was shooting 1/8 as it was.

The DoF is very cool! Nice job!

[Battou]

I bet that was worse than taking a picture of a toddler. What was the total magnification of your macro rings?

Sorry, would of had that song in my head for the whole day if I didn't finish up the verse.

And nice shot!

Indeed, I had to bin a couple that where little more than a hair ball. As for the total magnification, I'm still new to the filter thing so I can't exactly read them. I do believe I had all three (+1/+2/+4) on at the time.


I think I accidently might have left my UV filter on it softening an already super shallow DOF. I had been going through the roll exparimenting with the Nikon wile doing some other stuff and stuck the POS UV filter on to protect the filters wile I ran off for whatever else needed doing.

*EDIT*

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to pick up on the reference

That is one of two.

Thanks

You mean Martok the Klingon?

You mean Martok the Klingon?

Yup, When his mother brought them into the house before the snow flew he clung on to my brother and I feircly, subsiquently being reffered to as a klingon as my brother and I are fair to avid Startrek fans. Shortly there after my brother officially named him Martok because of it.
