G21 Macro
I though macro photography looked cool so I picked up a new lens. I shot these hand held so I used flash to compensate for hand shake.

Wow, great job getting such sharp results shooting like that! Cool pix as well :)
|
impressive! what's yer setup?
i keep around a 10 year old Nikon Coolpix 950 - busted battery door, needs power adapter - just because it has one of the best macro lenses i've ever seen on a digital point-n-shoot. - emilio |
Thanks. I used a Nikon D90 with a Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 and some off camera flashes. I really need to get a tripod. The Coolpix 950 is a great camera and was ahead of it's time with the ability to get close to 1:1 without software zoom. I wanted one, but couldn't afford it at the time.

mmm, D90. those Nikons always have such good color...
the Coolpix 950 will do stuff like this: http://neurostyle.net/misc/ria/parts...-trigger-3.jpg it'll get closer, but that's what was handy. sadly, whatever the contemporary 950 equivalent is has one mortal flaw: no manual settings. shock! horror! the side-mount is still a very nice way to pack a lot of lens in there, though. - emilio |
Wow nice artistic pics! They look great and they're really cool. It's interesting to see some of the detail so close up.

Looking at the camera and exif data: On camera processing - neutral Sharpness - normal Manual mode f/11 @ 1/60 ISO 200 White balance - tungsten Metering mode - center weighted and matrix Rear curtain flash sync High speed flash sync EV 0 Flashes: 1 sb600 and a couple of sbr200 wireless through CLS using iTTL Gelled orange for tungsten white balance sb600 EV +3.0 for ceiling bounce @ 14mm sbr200 EV +1.0 for the gels and shot direct Things I learned: Nikon color correction gels are not standard. They are too strong which is why everything looks, well, orange. :) When using gels be consistent. I used Nikon gels for the sbr200's and Rosco CTO for the sb600. Correct white balance correction is difficult because part of the image will be either warm or cold. I need a tripod. |
