Post your macro shots

[GTSRguy]

I love close ups...here are a few of my recent shots taken with a canon powershot 12 mp.

Can anyone guess what GPU this is? (20pts)


*Sigh* I hit post right as a noticed i "hots". No way to change the title.. (can a mod?)

Holy buckets, that bee shot is great!

Click Edit, then click "Go Advanced", then edit the title and save.

Love macros! These arer great to look at - especially Peyton's bugs. The only one I could find quickly was a pair of computer screws. 🙂

Taken with the stock flash on my D40x. Bottom portion of the front flower is a bit too dark.

I was looking at this thread yesterday. I was walking home today with my Canon SD700IS and saw this today and couldn't resist 😛
(I know it's not as good)

Also with the SD700IS

Here are some from my reef tank, taken with Rebel XTi and Canon 100mm macro lens or Canon EF-S 17-55 2.8:

These are some really nice macros. Today, I saw a tiny pincushion cactus in bloom - it is only about 3-inches tall. Here it is in context:

And here is the macro view:

Is there anyway you can get back there and take another picture? Maybe try taking it from a different angle, one where you're not standing over top if it? I say this because, everyone that walks passed it will see it from the angle you took. Try shooting it from ground level, and see what happens.

 

[corkyg]

The camera lens was about 2 inches away from the cactus. Ground level would be interesting, but the rocks, etc., make that difficult. I will need to put down a pad to lie on. Good suggestion! Will try mañana. 🙂

Looking forward to your results. 🙂

The left side of the perspective shot looks like a good spot to setup, and the rocks add a natural solid background, looks like a perfect setup.

 

[corkyg]

OK - it was not easy. I had to find a pad, and lie down on the rocks to get your suggested angle. This was at about 7:00 AM, and apparently, the flowers close at night. I'll go back later and see if they open up when the sun hits them.

OK - three hours later, the sun was out and the flowers opened up. So I got in close and personal with one - about 1-in from the lens objective.

 

[basslover1]

Other than the rocks being washed out, I love the shot.

I think what makes it, is that you don't always get to see fresh pollen on the pedals, that's awesome.

 

[corkyg]

Agree about the washed out rock - that happened because the flower itself was shaded. Try this one:

My watches Casio MTG, Casio pathfinder, and Rolex Submariner

this is on a crappy old canon G-9, hopefully I can spring for a Sony Nex-3 soon. i'm starting to get the photobug, and thought it would be fun to try. Let me know if I could have did this better...

This is the bottom of my GTX285!

This is my freind with his new EOS Rebel T2i EF-S 18-55mm IS Kit trying to distinguish individual pixels on his iPhone 4..i think he can still get closer.

Wow!! Great closeup, i can see individual bars RGB on the iPhone 4. Now they need to make desktops with this pixel density 🙂

Couldn't resist this - grandkids were about to feed a bearded dragon with his ration of crickets. The camera lens was about 1.5-inches away from subject.
