Post some Macro/Closeup Photos

Nice pics Lars...

My kit is kind of weird... it records images on a strip of light sensitive material, which I have to mail off to a laboratory to have processed. When the strip comes back, it has these tiny images on it. I cut them up and stick them in little plastic thingies that can be put in a box with a bulb on one end and a lens on the other, with a screen across the room. 😉

Needless to say, the digital stuff is a lot more convenient (and cheaper in the long run if you shoot a lot), but to me the features of the dRebel are too limiting, and I can't afford the kind of camera that I really want (well, I can't afford the dRebel either), so I keep on using film with my manual focus, manual everything else SLR. 🙁

Anyway, sorry for the long introduction. You wanted pictures, right? Well, here are a few. These are quick scans of prints of transparencies, so the quality will suck, but you should be able to get an idea...
Oh, details on equipment: Mamiya 1000DTL with 50mm lens and various "made in Germany" universal screwmount extension tubes. Fuji Velvia 50, Sensia 100, or Provia 100F transparency film (can't remember the specifics on each picture).

Lucky *******, with a Nikon you have tons of options. Perhaps a PB-6 with a reverse-mounted enlarger lens for general macros, and maybe an old movie camera lens for the full frame snowflake pics? 😉

BTW, John Shaw's Closeups in Nature has lots of advice for doing macro on the cheap (and on the not-so-cheap).

Geez, people, what's so hard about doing an Image > Image Size > Width: 700 in PS (or the equivalent in your imaging program of choice)? No freakin way I'm loading that thing on dialup... BTW, is that from the Canon 1Ds or Kodak Pro SLR/n?
