Playing with Macro again

Recommended Posts

Decided to have a play with the macro kit again.

 

Tamron 90mm Macro lens + cheapy extension tube set + Sigma 2.0 x teleconverter.

 

The only editing in Paint .NET is to resize, adjust gamma, brightness and contrast slightly as mixing the teleconverter with a macro lens and extension tubes does mess up the cameras internal auto functions a little :)

Yep, the Aviator is a gen with see through case back so I'll take some pics of that movement for comparison.

 

What I see when I'm taking the photos is that it only takes the tiniest brush of my finger or t shirt or something and a nicely cleaned surface has a whole load of crap on it :)

Oh yes, cleaning them isn't a problem, it's just the amount of contamination from just one light touch is amazing.

 

You clean whatever, take a picture, rearrange it slightly, accidentally brush it against the white backdrop, or the side of a finger, or even clean it and decide to give it a last cursory wipe with the edge of the cloth, or see a hair has settled on it and flick it off with your finger, take another photo and go "WTF?".

 

At least I'm not a microbiologist who gets to see all those microbes and bugs and stuff, I'd be forever showering myself in boiling water :D
