Thread: Macro lens fun

Sorry for starting so many threads ... but I had fun with my macro lens yesterday. I have other shots to edit, but I just HAD to open this one. I only slightly adjusted WB in ACR, and did no other editing (other than resize/sharpen for web). I think the detail in my son's iris is just fascinating!!!

Oh, and I had to bribe him with Hershey kisses to get him to sit for this. He wants to try to photograph my eye, so I think I'll let him as this is really cool.

Sorry it's so big, but I really wanted to share the detail

Exposure 0.01 sec (1/100)
Aperture f/5.0
Focal Length 50 mm (but then macro conversion lens was added on top of the 50mm lens)
ISO Speed 800





I'll add any more neat macro shots to this thread if I edit them soon.

Saw this on FB but yep. The detail in the eye is amazing

Even better than my brown eye shot!! great detail, Gwen!

wow that's great!!! I really need to get me one of those lenses! They sound so much better than my stupid little filters with a horrible DOF.

Gwen, what kind of macro conversion are you using?

This is very cool!! I haven't tried eyes yet. I did get a macro of DD's finger on Friday

Wow that's awesome!!! That detail is amazing!

WOW! That IS amazing detail!!!

Maybe if you get him interested in photography, he'll be a more cooperative model.

GiGi

Neat!

Love it love it love it!!!

thanks, girls!

I don't remember your eye ... will have to stalk your Flickr stream for it.
