macro

A bit of back ground info first: I've been doing some photography for about 4 years now, just a hobby, I'm nothing of a pro for sure. I started off with a used, old D70. My primary lens was a 35mm 1.8 DX. It gave me fantastic results consistently. Just a year ago I decided it was time for...

Took this photo 2 years ago on a park, and this is probably my most beautiful flower shot last 2015. :lovey::love_heart: What do you think of this one?

Hello everyone, need some advice. I bought canon mount Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro Description I chose 105mm for more working distance than 70mm. I thought it has aperture ring, as it says "Nikon mounts do not have an aperture ring." I assumed other mount has it. That's history, after...

Selling a practically new 105 macro for Nikon. The lens is in perfect condition and was used for one publication project, resulting in around 55 portrait photos. This lens is a great portrait and macro lens. I don't have time for macro photography and I have portraits covered with a 200mm. It...

Macro photography is this such amazing space (for me, at least). It's like researching and discovering hidden details everywhere.... Here a few random macro shots. Enjoy! Other shots in here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ruimc/albums/72157642068924275 1 Happy first birthday by ruifo, on...

And I don't know if I will because all I need to do is zoom to 55mm, adjust my focus and then put a magnifying glass on top of the lens. Yeah, you could just buy one to save you the effort of holding a magnifying glass on top of your lens, but this is still a good trick to save 100$.

Hey there! I just have a question for everyone/ anyone who does beauty photography. Before anyone says anything - I totally get that there is a level of skill at the hand of the person photographing it and that years of practice and schooling goes into it but I'm insanely curious as to how to...

Literally, I haven't left the house in three days. :icon_eek: :icon_eek: :icon_eek: it physically pains me to say that, but being a stay-at-home mom and helping my partner run his business means what I want comes last. So, here are some randoms from around the house and porch over the last...

Hello, everyone! I recently have been excited to start using my new Olloclip Macro Pro for my iPhone6s. After a much-needed rain today I finally had the opportunity to take some macro shots of water droplets. I love how this photo captures a reflection of a spruce tree branch, but on the bottom...

Hello all! I am looking to buy a lens with macro capability, primarily because we are expecting a baby and I want to be able to take close ups of it's lips, fingers, etc. I use a Nikon D750 (full frame) and my lenses are as follows: 28mm 1.8 G (Favorite, and probably most used.) 50mm 1.8 G...

I'm just wondering if there is any benefits from having a 60mm macro? Because it seems like a longer telephoto like the 105 or longer seems to be more beneficial because the working distance is significantly more. When would the 60 macro come in handy OVER a longer telephoto macro? I can see...

Hi i am looking at the tokina AT-X M100 AF 100mm f/2.8 for gem stone photography. My brother in law collects and cuts the stones for competitions and asked me if i could help him to get some nice shots of the stones. We are working on the lighting using mirrors and product soft boxes and just...

I have always enjoyed water drop photos, and recently I purchased some equipment to take it to the next level. I even ended up with quite a few three drop collisions before it was all over. I think the background looked a little blotchy on some of them, I'm not sure if it was droplets on the...

SOLD!

The weather was really nice yesterday so I decided to take a walk around my property with my macro lens and try to spot some signs of spring. I happened to walk by a lilac tree and noticed some fresh buds starting to form. Good thing I kept my macro lens! Nikon D610 + 105 2.8G VR @ f/16...

I plan on ordering my Samsung NX500 later this week and want to get a Ring light for my videos. Preferably a ring light that mounts onto my camera. I want to avoid lights on a stand because I will most likely be doing handheld/on the go videos. I found something like...

Hi, I own a Nikon P530 Bridge Camera which I'm having a lot of fun getting to grips with. I love using the Macro mode but I'm looking for any tips on the art of making the camera focus on the subject quickly rather than the background. I tend to shoot in Auto with Macro enabled. As far as I...
