i have one that came from Crooked Imaging, it was sold as Kood brand and packaged as such although no name on the unit. allows infinty focus and no problem removing from camera with supplied tool. unfortunately have not seen them for sale for some time or would be snapping them up

Bluebell (definitely) and Whitebell (i think)

a couple with the Sigma 105







a couple with the DA*16-50

i have varifocal and use the center of my glasses lens to view with the dioptre adjusted to this, seem to be ok. at least the dioptre is in the middle of its adjustment range whereas when i tried taking my glasses off it was at the extreme limit of its travel and i was sure i could have done with more

off to Kennack Sands, Cornwall for a week, hope to get to the caves at Kynance Cove and an engine house or two this year. any opinions of the best of these for photo,s without risking your life.

thanks for that. definitely like playing with sliders, it feels good when a glimpse of "something" in a shot actually turns into SOMETHING, at least for the creator and a bonus if enjoyed by others.
my daughters house is my gallery . she prefers stuff away from the norm , whereas she who must be obeyed is more conservative in taste.

don,t want to be picky but i was drawn straight to the green halo by the 2nd bollard towards the bridge from the telephone box, but still a lovely well controlled shot.

a fine example of "negative space" where the space is as important as the subject for the whole thing to be complete, also tried something similar but not in this league.

the method i used was to set up the water and camera ,start the water dripping hold a pencil tip at the point the drips hit and manual focus on that. flash was on remote cable facing to coloured card background cannot remember the output level it was set at but it was quite low. once this was done turned the lights out so thr room was completely dark, fired off batches of 10 and then checked to see what i had. a bit hit and miss but cheaper than buying loads of valves and timing equipment.
was quite pleased with this, colour added in ps




sigma 105 macro,f10 1/8s according to exif

excellent pp, can see it large on a white wall in a minimalist designed room.
what pp did you use or is it a trade secret

i would say paint and a screwdriver, very imaginative
