Macro Photography – going small
Yesterday my photographic target was HDRi images of buildings and fountains. Today I decided to go in the opposite direction. After I finished today’s product photography session it was time to go small. Really small. I mean itty bitty small.
My son had done one of those crystal expirments and the resulting formations looked rather cool form what I could see. The rocks themselves are less than 1 inch in height and no more than 1.25 wide. So seeing them unaided was a bit of a challenge.
The setup for these was pretty simple a Single 500 watt color corrected bulb in a reflector dish was the only light source. The D700 was fitted with a Nikkor 50mm 1.4 lens reversed. It was shot at f22 for 5 seconds.
Please enjoy them!
