Some (very) Close-Up Shots...

Got a neat little gizmo (Raynox DCR-250) for my macro lens and tested it out. Let's me get very very close! I'm having a lot of fun with it. I wish it were not winter so I could go out and shoot some bugs!

Jesus, that's better than real life.

Those pictures are UNBELIEVABLE!

I don't think I've ever seen better pictures in my life

HUGE props to you

that fly looks awesome!

Badass as always.

Freakin bad arse!!!!

Now that's up close, lol.

Awesome

Beautiful shots.

these are SO awesome! how does the lens work? does it attatch to the front of another lens through an adapter?

Thats impressive to be that clear at such a high zoom... I love the upclose of the snake eye

What are you shooting with Aaron?

Absolutely amazing shots!

Wow....your pictures are always amazing....but this is even more amazing.

You are in the computer industry why......you should be a professional photographer??? I think you should make some large prints of those. I know I would buy one!!! seriously!~~

Thanks a lot for all the nice comments guys!

Exactly, its an attachment that just clips to the front of most macro and telephoto lenses via an adapter. Raynox makes even more powerful super-macro lenses but beyond this level of magnification, you usually need to use focus rails and whatnot- I like this one because I can still hand-hold the camera.

The plane of focus is so narrow with this setup that I had to shoot at f/22 and up to get usable pictures.

These were taken using a Canon Rebel T1i with a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 + Raynox DCR-250. The flash is a Canon 580exII shot through a LumiQuest Big Bounce Diffuser.


Thanks again everyone!
Aaron

Man that is so cool i might have to pick up one of these babies to play with.

Ahh focus rails *sigh* fine if i've got a copy stand but freehand, not so much. And since I left my college lab behind I've got no more copy stands.

Awesome Photos. is that attachment useble on any dslr

It's always a treat when you post pictures! Awesome shots, and thanks for sharing.

Nice my brudda.

I was thinkin of picking one of those up after seeing a friend of mine use one in person.

I have a 50mm 2.8 macro and I think it would be freaking AWESOME to pop that bad boy on there.

That fly is unreal!! Very cool pics

HOLY MOLY!!!! *faints* That's an AMAZING camera!!! :bow:

Very cool pictures! :gj:
