Up close and personal..
Not nearly as impressive as some of the other attempts above, but this is my offering. Quite a fun challenge to set it all up - the coin was blutacked to the wall with the camera on a small wheely table that I could move back and forth to focus. :wink: couldn't have used a tripod as the whole thing...

My wife thinks you all need to get out more :twisted: BTW Why is nobody using bellows any more, when I get back I might give it a go (she knows I'm sad anyway) :lol:

Daniel's one is incredible :shock: Wait for it.... Ta da!! Actually using the 70-300 at 300mm. 6 extension tubes are around 140mm. Got another 3 somewhere... As an exercise in patience, it's been rewarding, but practical uses...? :? Bearing in mind it's taken me about 30 minutes ...

Bearing in mind it's taken me about 30 minutes to focus the thing.Dan Now the next part of this challenge ought to be to get AF working :D

AF is easy - you just look through the little piece of glass at the back of the camera and adjust the focus automatically using your eyes :twisted:

"AF is easy - you just look through the little piece of glass at the back of the camera and adjust the focus automatically using your eyes" More like: Take a picture. Look at LCD. See blur. Move coin. Repeat ad infinitum. That's why I stopped when I did - don't think I didn't ...

Converting to Mono
Hi guys, a change from HDR I know - I thought I wd keep well out of that one, was getting way beyond me! :oops: Seriously, I would appreciate any direction on converting b&w. I have seen so many ways of attempting this in mags and the like and have experimented with channel mixer method t...

Converting to Mono
Ok Lilly, here's my ultra secret brain numbing conversion process! :lol: If you are starting from RAW make sure its sent into PS as a colour image, and has a lower than normal contrast setting... but not too low. If it's a JPEG captured image... well... it might work ok. :wink: Step 1 ...

Converting to Mono
Just thought I'd try the C1 method I mentioned above on my image: Used the output profile 'Phase One Grey Profile 2,2', and just played around with the white balance etc until I liked what I saw. Looked a bit odd when I put the profile back to Adobe RGB though. :shock: Dan

Converting to Mono
Looking even better Lilly! Toning adds such richness!! Also remember that in duotone mode there are specific curves adjustments for each ink colour you add. Sometimes you may find that the shadows will block up with too much ink, so you can lower it's density, and also create different effects...

exposure compensation
I may be missing the point, but if you shoot in manual mode you can stop down or open up aperture, or speed up or slow down shutter. If you are using a program mode and have to press buttons to adjust EC, wouldn't you be better off using manual? True, shooting manual means you would never ne...

Further to Converting to Mono thread
Thanks guys, the search continues. You will be hard pressed to create BW's from the lower end printers. . Ancient, yes - like me at times :lol: . Lower-end? It was top of the range when I got it :roll: Don't forget that coloured inks produce a much wider range of greys than black can on it...

Hi all, I went out and about somewhere near Dunstable today.. Mrs. L drove and I read a book there and back, so I'm not 100% on where exactly. :? Anyway, as the theme of the week seems to be mono, I thought I'd have a play with one of the photos I took.. purely experimental, but I think it tu...

Hi Pete, Re. the frame.. I know.. :wink: I've started doing that too much, so it's gone. :lol: Not sure what you mean about shadows and highlights though. :? The 'shadows' are meant to be silhouettes, so they're black, and the highlights are meant to be white. I've pulled the mage...

I have no idea.. :D I grabbed the camera and found Mrs Liam in the car studying the map book. I started reading and a while later there we were. :shock: There was a large lion (the Whipsnade lion, as I found out later) carved into the hill across the valley.. we were on the ridgeway opposit...

DA 21 and DA 40 ;) Yep. I'll be back in an hour I need a new glasses. :lol: Seriously, I like DA lenses but it's something not mine. I know their quality, aperture and AF work fine but still I like old fashion lenses like FA lenses and zoom lenses like a trombone with manual focusing and aperture r...
