 I keep thinking about getting into macro, but knowing me I'd end up going mad for a few weeks then getting bored, followed by the lens collecting dust for 6 months until I see a picture like your's and then going mad again for a few weeks   I should really save up for a bit white prime...:D 

its interesting to do but eventually one gets tired of partially blurred shots..

the cheapest and best way is to get tubes for a standard lens and go manual

This ones taken with tubes ,you always get partially blurred shots unless you focus stack ,dof is very small on macro shots

how does one do a stack....with a tripod i guess...and manual focus...

where do you then stack them??

Yeah you need a tripod then lots of shots front to back to get the subject all in focus ,if your clever ,which counts me out allready you can stack in photoshop but theres a few free software apps that are designed for just the job i believe there are a few tutoriols on youtube .

It was nearly dead when i picked it up out of garden so i put a dollop of honey down for him and he soon recovered ,and it kept him still long enuff for me to get a few shots .

my lightroom has a stack feature but its for doing HDR....but it may do the same for shots with same exposure...

there must be some complications with a simple programme...depth of field could aggravate some of the subsequent items in the stack..??

thinking outside the box here...as i usually do...and find myself alone!!

my only foray with true macro was with a nikon ais 55 macro which also did really good portraits...its flat field so its sharp right to the edges...

alas...all the nikon kit was sold years ago...

its an expensive hobby nest pass....especially with the optics side of things

cheers

did you visit rabat

 

No, unfortunately it was only a quick day visit from a cruise. I'd love to see more of Morocco though.

My dad's cap badge from WW2. A prized possession, I keep it polished like a mirror.

A few interesting planes at Gamston airport yesterday.......

all planes are interesting

we recently visited https://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/cosford/ and were gobsmacked with the large hanger exhibits

hanger is the operative word for the lightning hanging from its nose

when we were in malta we visited this one...https://www.maltaaviationmuseum.com/

where they have ww2 planes and are rebuilding from scratch some others

if you want a good read about warplanes and malta ..read "fortress malta"  its unbelievable what they did with a few fighters and a couple of biplanes

Rufford park yesterday evening..........
