As macro as I can get

Travis · 02-14-2004, 06:41 PM

...with the equipment I have. Distance was about 4" away, 10D, 100/2.8 macro, full set of extension tubes and 500D close-up diopter. No sharpening was applied, I just processed the RAW image for WB and exposure, did a levels adjustment afterward.

Don't try this at home kids.

Here's the entire frame:

Here's a 100% crop:

Travis · 02-14-2004, 08:48 PM

Ya I know Wit, I tried to print off a million copies of the above photo but it didn't work... had to pay for my bubble gum.

Photoshop CS can actually tell when you have a scanned dollar and will not let you do anything with it 100%.

Witfull · 02-14-2004, 08:53 PM

yep its required now, printers are even getting smarter to reconize money and will over write VOID on top of it.

i dont want to hyjack this thread, but felt it was a responsablility to put it out there.

I'd like to know where bubble gum is still a penny....I've only seen 25cents? LOL

Phew, I was hesitating looking at this thread. Travis makes some of the zoos & other marine life "JUMP" out at you, and it makes me JEALOUS that I can't find anything that coimes close to looking as nice

!!LOL!!
Just wait, I'm gonna get my high-tech Fuji 2650 figured out one of these days...

Amazing clarity & depth in those shots Trav! Nice work.
