wobblepip Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 I've just bought a digital SLR and I thought I'd try a few big macro shots of D. capensis. Here's my first attempt: ... I wonder if I can go even closer... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavier Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Blimey!!!!!!! That's a close up! What's your camera? I want one of them. Fantastic picture! Xavier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aidan Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 ... I wonder if I can go even closer... :) Screw a UV filter onto the lens first. Unless you do want Drosera goo all over the shiny, new, coated glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobblepip Posted February 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 My camera is a Canon 400D SLR and the lens is a 100mm f/2.8 macro. The lens on its own produces life size images on the imaging chip but I also used an extension tube set to get about x2.2 life size ... then I selectively enlarged the 10 megapixel image to get a single drop. After all of that, the image is a bit soft and noisy but it's a start. I have a microscope too so I might try to attach the camera to it tomorrow.
