Not art, but creative
Didnt know where to post this so i figured i'dd put it in the creative corner as this isnt really your standard hardware topic.
Anway, i recently bought me an infrared filter, a cokin one (filter #007)
They deliverd the P version in stead of the A version i needed.
Being the friendly guy i am i didnt make a problem out of this in stead i went home and started cutting up the filter to make it A sized
so i started cutting and cutting untill i made an A sized filter out of my 30 euro's worth of P filter.
When i was finished i felt this "urge" to do some more handywork. no i didnt start watching p*rn or whatever, i figured "hey, i got some 58 milimeter cokin rings, why not make a reversed mount fix so i can use my lenses while mounted "up side down" (seeing as mounting a 90 mm lens gives you incredible magnification from close up.)
So i went to the local photofarmer, and bought me a couple of mountcovers. (5 euro a piece, damn why is a freaking mount cover that expensive -just cuz i has Canon printed on it? :wow: )
Well anyway so now i have 1, 58mm ring and one cover.. then i started cutting out the middle part of the cover making it "transperant" so the lens would actualy shine light on the film/mirror
okay so now i have a cover with a hole in it the size my... finger... would fit through.. time to fix the ring on the (now disfunctional) cover
i decided to brew up some ironglue (dunno what you people call is its just filthy grey and it stinks, but i can hold together car parts so its good enough for my lens )
wait a couple of hours and voila, an inverter ring you can use for macro photography without having to buy a million dollar macro lens. and all that for 10 euro's.
I'm gonna post pics of it later i dont have a digital camera except for on my mobile phone
anyway thought i'd share this with you cuz it gave me a laugh when i finished it it actualy works surprisingly good to!
I know there are rings out there that do the same wich u can buy, but for some reason it gives me a kick knowing i made em myself, especialy when i considder im not that handy and seeing the result (magnification i love macro )
The dof is complete crap but it makes it fun
Cheers, Jarno
