ir_cow Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 So, the semester is ending and I have nearly wrapped up my advance photo project. I thought I would share a quick video on how I do things if someone else is interested in trying their hand at it also. I guess the main point of this thread is i'm running out of ideas of things to photograph. If someone has a few ideas that would be awesome.

bishop245 Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Whats with turning the lens around I dont have a bellows but it does somewhat confuse me about that part plus I am used to taking far off shots not close up macro shots Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 The further lens is from the camera the closer it can be for shortest focal distance. So example: say normally you have to be 5 feet away for the minimal focusing distance. With the Bellow now you can be 1 foot away. For the reserve lens, basically when when switch which way the lens is pointing you get a magnification effect because by default, the side that is suppose to face the camera sensor is only an inch away at most. Add them together and you get a nice big magnification. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayMark Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Photography is fun. It's all about the angles...climb a ladder or...rest the lens on the front quarterpanel, and shoot lengthwise...macro photography always produces amazing images bringing into view things we naturally overlook. I have a Voigtlander Prominent II from the mid-1950's purchased in Italy! It's all manual, but very precise. Voigtlander is the oldest camera maker in the world founded in 1756. A few portable lighting fixtures, nothing expensive, makes huge improvements. Setting up for the shot is paramount, then again those random spur of the moment shots can be precious.

ir_cow Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 I have to title and write another artist statement before handing it in. Maybe I'll title it "The Wisdom of RayMark" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop245 Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I haven't started leaning macro stuff yet with my dslr. Thanks for clearing that up for me HB. The way I like to shoot pictures is both day and night short and long distance and when I can afford it wide angle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
