Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / Australian Photography / January 2008Trying macro on a spider
Seeing Troy's macro insect shots I decided to have a go at a spider. There are a few out of focus spots but I am happy with it http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=2205402819&size=l WARNING - If you have a fear of spiders I advise you don't click that link * Father McKenzie is quoted & my replies are inline below : > Seeing Troy's macro insect shots I decided to have a go at a spider. > There are a few out of focus spots but I am happy with it > > http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=2205402819&size=l > > WARNING - If you have a fear of spiders I advise you don't click that link :) I posted a followup in the other groups you posted this: ----- Very hard to get all in focus with macros, because you are so close to the subject the depth of field is really, really shallow. Mostly just focus on the eyes and rely on composition/angles to get the best other parts in focus. Some macro guys use a method called focus stacking to get more/all of the subject in focus and to minimise diffraction softening effects introduced when using smaller apertures. They take several shots of the same subject with an reasonable aperture, each shot with different parts of the subject in focus. They then "stack" the images either manually or with software combining all the in focus parts to create an image with the whole thing in focus. -----  SignatureTroy Piggins Please feel free to provide constructive criticism on any photos I post. I'm always learning and appreciate feedback. > Seeing Troy's macro insect shots I decided to have a go at a spider. > There are a few out of focus spots but I am happy with it > > http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=2205402819&size=l > > WARNING - If you have a fear of spiders I advise you don't click that link Its upside down I like to see the eyes. >> Seeing Troy's macro insect shots I decided to have a go at a spider. >> There are a few out of focus spots but I am happy with it [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Its upside down I like to see the eyes.

I might repost it to flickr but around the other way. if I do I will reply here. |
