… But I didn’t miss them!
Sigma 30mm 1.4, at 1.4, ISO100, 1.640th (chosen by the D7000).
365.11 – Abstraktes Bild
And we have a new entry into the Macro family!
Who is it?
It’s the 36-72 f/3.5 E Series! Smaller and cuter and less beloved than its bigger brother (prominently featured on this website as in early 2012), the 36-72 is sharp, contrasty, has little or no zoom creep (unlike the 75-150, which can only be described as a complete creeper—and provides brilliant color rendition, so it’s a shame it doesn’t get more love.
It’s a pain to use reversed and extended, though, since the maximum focusing distance is about an inch and a half.
ISO100, 4 seconds, f/11
365.10 Tiny Bubbles
I shook up the Samantha Snow Globe to try and capture some falling snow shots, and noticed that the little pocket of air in the globe broke up in an interesting way so I shot it! Fun times!
ISO100, 8 Seconds, f/16
Fun With Macro!
Apologies in advance for any headaches these may cause…
All shot with the 75-150 f/3.5 E Series lens, reversed, jutting out of a D7000 on 49mm worth of extension tubes. ISO100, 2 seconds, f/3.5.
365.9 Samantha
Yes. This is a photo of an American Girl snow globe… It’s in my possession, but isn’t mine (don’t ask), and I’m not particularly excited about the photo, though I’m simultaneously (and strangely) rather pleased with it.
Same rig: 75-150 f/3.5 E Series, reversed, and extended by 49mm. ISO 100, 2 seconds, f/11 (maybe f/22 – I should keep notes…).
365.8 Abstraktes Bild 20120105
One of these days I’ll run out of things to shoot with the macro rig. When that happens, I’ll probably turn to cats, then maybe to self portraits, then maybe to momento mori, and then, maybe, just maybe, I’ll have to go outside…
75-150mm f/3.5 Series E, reversed, with 49mm extension. ISO400, 1/40th, f/3.5.
365.7 Glint
Stuck in Macro mode…
Still 75-150mm E Series.
Still reversed.
Still on 49mm extension.
This time: ISO400, 1/8th, f/11.
