Those are some nice macro shots
|
darn, why douse my tele converter dont fit on my standard lens, for some reason it ony fits on my 280 lens.
making close up's with a 280 + a 2x tele converter is not working as nice as your pic's, let me try again and se what I come up with |
ok so the auto focus douse not work this close, so it is hands on to get them sharp, meaning when I se them this big, I NEED GLASSES as thy are a bit off sharp,
but as mentioned, the tele converter douse not fit, and on the 280, so 280+2x tele converter thy don't turn out that nice. I cant get closer than this, ore thy blur up, this is all I can do for now, yours are much nicer http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_0020.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_0021.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_0022.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_0026.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_0027.jpg |
Nice pics RR, I noticed they are a little soft. Your aperture was pretty wide for this kind of shot at f/4.0 try a few more with a much smaller aperture like f/16. You will need a tripod and a very still tank but you'll get sharper pics with a great DOF.
Here's some of mine taken with large f numbers and long exposures using a 150mm macro. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...02008/SPS1.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...008/Dendro.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...02008/Tort.jpg |

Very nice pics and great suggestions! I was shooting by merely pressing the lens against the glass, without the tripod. I was hoping not have to but you're right. I'll have to bring out the tripod and also be a bit more patient to get a greater DOF. I'll try it out in the next couple days.:biggrin: BTY, what's your take with teleconverters and using extension tubes along with it? |
Hi Kevin
Teleconverters do not work on EFS lens, only EF. You may also want to consider using extension tubes if you are not using macro lens. The teleconverter will only bring you closer to the subject. I'll pm you since you are in Vic. |
Those are much better, stunning really. Some still a little soft, make sure you're always shooting perpendicular to the glass. I don't have much experience with teleconverters for macro shots, not something I would probably use as the extra glass will probably work against you. I like the extension tubes better but they only allow you to focus on objects at a closer distance so may not always be useful with aquarium pics as tank glass typically gets in the way. As for using both not sure what the goal or results would be like but you could always try. Also consider a lens reversing ring for ultra macros.
