A few macro shots

[Phyl]

Hmm. Ya know, that is curious. I'm not sure what I didn't like about my attempts with that. Maybe there just wasn't enough light to focus? I'll have to give it another whirl and see what I find.

its because it already takes 3 days of exposure time without extension tubes=)

With them, you might as well take a nap between exposures.

Nice pictures!!

 

[Phyl]

Thank you! The Psammacora is one of my favorite corals. I was surprised at the texture of it under Macro.

wow!

 

[reefmaister]

Very elegant. I especially like the shots with the black background

 

[Phyl]

Thank you! Those shots are taken using only a flashlight for light. Great effect.

[Phyl]

Thanks, Rev!

These pics should be in magazines. Amazing.

They are fantastic shots! Can you please explain to me what a "bellows" is? I've never heard of this term. Thanks.

Also with the barrier filter on, do you take your shots at night using a torch as a light source?

Cheers.

 

[Phyl]

The Night-Sea has a flashlight that does the excitation to really bring the flouresence out in the coral.

This is the Bellows that I use.

Thank you both very much for your compliments.

Love the frogspawn very nice pics

 

[helifaxnz]

Sorry another question. So you use the torch or do you use the filter on the lens?

 

[Phyl]

From this page I use the BlueStar Flashlight.

From this page I use the Barrier Filter that fits my 105VR Macro lens.

 

[t11t5]

This is probably the 100th time I looked at the pics. I think they are great.

 

[Phyl]

Thank you very much!



Charles Mazel (the Night Sea guy) is going to be speaking at the NJ Reefers Club event in October (along with Eric Borneman and Dana Riddle).
