I was gonna post some pics, but every time I glance over here I feel like I have to dip into my file of the best of the best just to not feel laughable... lol... I need a better camera lens or something...

What are you talking about, your photos are great!

I appreciate it... but the details and lighting of these guys is beyond me, lol. I wish I knew how to do these close-ups. Time to do some reading so I can figure out how you guys are getting these results, lol.

Thanks!

Ordnance, post em up! Beleive me, for each shot I find "decent" enough to post on here, there are probably 10 bad ones that get deleted. We're our own worst critics (unless you've got a wife )

The watch pic was done just with a cheap x10 thread on filter.

Here's how much I actually know about photography... what is a x10 filter? Lol...

Been meaning to throw some stuff in here ... hopefully sometime soon.

Probably something a good photography wouldn't be caught with.

I just re-enrolled back into college so by budget is non-existent for the next few years. I'm using a really old Cannon Rebel my parents quit using when they picked up some nicer stuff. I might see if they have any filters laying around. Here's one I meant to put up in Memory of Pearl Harbor yesterday...

[Pyzik]

That flag shot is great. Clearly you have some ideas of how to work the camera.

I am sure you can take some great shots with the Rebel.

So - I'm gathering that this is, in essence, another cheap way to do somewhat of macro photography? By decreasing the focusing distance via the magnification?

Just remember one thing Ordnance - at the end of the day, it's not about equipment. It's about your skills as a photographer, and honestly - your own creativity -- your own spin on things. You could get a very nice camera with 36MP sensor, with 52 autofocus points, that can shoot at 5 fps. But none of that will matter if you don't have the knowledge and skills to take nice pictures.

Precisely.

I have a macro kit lens but it was easier to just grab the filter for the quick shot.

Creativity? Never heard of her... lol...

So many ways to do macro photography - without a macro lens haha. Never realized such methods existed til now.

Curious though, can you stack more than 3?

[Pyzik]

I can stack 4 if go in order, x1, x2, x4, x10. the focal plain gets real short though.
