macro photography

I'm still developing my macro support kit. Camera good, lens awesome, lightbox surprisingly excellent. Things for holding the things I'm photographing? Still working on that: (It's inside the lightbox)

I've been playing around with my Sony RX100 mk1 just to see what I could do, and I thought others might be interested - whether they have the RX100 or other fixed lens cameras. The macro setting on the Sony doesn't give additional magnification, it just enables features you might want for macro...

An old grainy attempt at fruit Macro , not a particularly nice image , reminds me of something Alien

Does anyone use flash with diffusers for their macro flowers? Which one do you use/recommend? Thanks!

Using OM1 and Oly 60 macro with godox flash. Attempt a 6 pic stack. Many, Many, Many failure to stack. This as close as i got and then cut wings off. Been watching quite a few of Vids my Micael Widell since he shoots lot of OM gear. really need to work on my hand holding shots. Day...

A pretty black/blue damselfly in Costa Rica. Might be Oculate Dancer, Argia oculata.

A leaf-cutter ant clinging to its leaf coupon. It had gotten lost in a blossom of a hibiscus bush.

There seem to be a lot of spider shots in the forum, but no specific thread for same... So here it is for those who like these little guys.

Will start with a skipper and a yellow butterfly.

An ant with a golden butt. Costa Rica.

Leafhopper, genus Raphirrhinus. Grasshoppers in love

A fly with red eyes. Taken with diffused flash.

Thinking about adding a small compact for daily carry that can take a nice macro wildflower photo. My current EDC is a Fujifilm X30 (2/3" sensor), but my preferred wildflower kit is a Panasonic micro four thirds with macro lens. The Fuji is borderline okay for small wildflowers, but I'd really...

I hauled out my old and trusty Nikon D2x with the Sigma 180 3.5 macro lens and waited to find a shot of a bee on the flower,

I don't know the name of this Autumn flowering shrub 4 meters tall and covered with plowers

Have had this goodie laying around but not used it much. But suddenly I needed to take some macro photos with my new system, came to think of this and thought it might fit my Nikon Z DX 16-50 lens, and it did! Actually, this is the go-to super macro gadget for Micro Four Thirds because it fits...

Hello, recently I was thinking of what could help with the diffraction effect from working at f 11, f 16, f 22 and f 32 (very few lenses can close down that much). One solution is working with either manual or automatic focusing rail, which is more or less mandatory for extreme magnifications...

Hello, now that autumn is here the mushrooms are starting to spring up and I would like to photograph the. Though I don't have a proper 1:2 or 1:1 macro lens I do have the Tamron zooms that can get very close. But being zoom lenses they do have a very long and large shape to them that will block...

Taking inspiration from "Father Ted" I decided to shoot a single daffodil showing its progression. I took five images but I prefer it with these three. All three are 20+ stacks and were taken using a Fuji X-T3 with Fuji 80/2.8 macro with 2xGodox MF-12 flash units mounted to it.

I picked up the K2 set of these (so 2x flash units plus the adapter rings, gels etc for them. Here is a quick test picture using them mounted onto the Fuji 80/2.8 lens, I use the XPro trigger to control them. Unit A was at the 1 o' clock position (as viewed from behind the camera) and was at...

I always had fun doing Macro. I need IBIS theses days though.

It's been a while. I got this small softbox and had some fun with it with some Star Trek ships laying around https://cameraderie.org/threads/ships-of-the-fleet-star-trek-edition.48768/ Well, I had some time today and broke out some of the Star Wars ships and other stuff. A6400 and 50mm...

When such flowers slowly die they metamorphose. 90mm M-macro lens on macro-adapter.

So I recently bought this foldable softbox and finally got to mess around with it (thoughts at the end) with some of my Star Trek models. A6000 and 50mm Minolta NCC-1701 NX-01 NCC-1701 D So this was a fun couple of hours. My thoughts and view of the softbox 1-...

XF 50 on XT20. I also used ACR 9.9 on the RAW files and it did a great job.

Bored this morning and started taking pictures of my light up Starship Enterprise. I really need to get a lightbox, but these turned out decent enough using ambient light. A6000 and 50mm Minolta
