My lame macro try :-) · 07:43 AM

And finaly after long boring winter sun shows up.. :-) I have been reading about this kind of macro photography and i tried as you can see it, and here is is my crazy setup:

And some examples.. I can wait to catch some insects..:-)

And something completely different

And some more :-) too bad still no bugs.. but spring is coming :-)

Coin

Zip

And pencil...

Whatever that set-up is, the photos look superb! Also thanks for the reminder...I need to make the bed, I forgot this morning and Mrs Rupert goes off on me when I don't make the bed!

If you need bugs, I can send you some Baby Spiders? This Mama won't miss one or two!

Best Regards!

I second what others have said, love the details and the crazy lens setup. Who needs a reversing ring when you've got tape?
