Playing with a Macro Extension Lens...
 

Last year I bought a macro tube for my Oly and never used it for one
reason or another. Being bored today, I went out and took some shots
with it.

All the images are as shot - the only "edit" was a conversion to .jpg
so it could be viewed by others. All were shot in ORF (raw). If
anybody wants the RAW files to play around with, let me know and I'll
up load the RAW file for download.

This is what happens when you don't pay attention to the meter, ISO,
shutter speed and what ever else. It would have been a good one.

This was just an experiment to get used to the macro tube.

http://www.swsports.org/Photography/...7_edited-1.jpg

I was quite surprized at the detail you can get.

http://www.swsports.org/Photography/...8_edited-1.jpg

This is one of those "baffling" images with some interesting side
effects from the ice that I didn't anticipate. It's a very different
image.

http://www.swsports.org/Photography/...9_edited-1.jpg

There is a considerable amount of noise in this image which I can't
explain - it should not have happened given how I set it up.

http://www.swsports.org/Photography/...4_edited-1.jpg

This is the same image (taken as a bracket) and not retouched. Go
figure.

http://www.swsports.org/Photography/...5_edited-1.jpg

Just messing around.

http://www.swsports.org/Photography/...6_edited-1.jpg

I have to get used to a whole different approach to depth of field
with the macro tube. This is a good image, the idea was good, but the
execution leaves a lot to be desired.

Serendipity - I really like this image - anybody guess why?

http://www.swsports.org/Photography/...8_edited-1.jpg

The macro tube tends to work differently even with the same settings,
distance and subject. Weird.

http://www.swsports.org/Photography/...1_edited-1.jpg

I'm slowly getting used to the tube. I have to do a little more
reading on the subject tonight and head out tomorrow for more images.

If you ever buy a macro lens, we'll never see you here again. Very addictive
toy.

Very nice. I had no idea a macro tube would look this nice. I am not
sure how it is with a macro tube, but what I have found with a Macro
lens is to get the sharpest image, you really need to manually focus and
use a tripod. The DOF is so shallow that the body moving the smallest
amount will blur your image.

What Oly do you own?

Reggie, today I took the Nikon 18-200 VR back to the store. They're going
to send it to Nikon to get checked out. They also think there may be
something wrong with the autofocusing. I'll let you know what they say.
