5 Simple Steps In Macro Photo

Macrophotography or what we are familiar with macro photography is a drawing / picture with the object of small items including small animals. Macro object can we meet in different places and locations. However, to produce a good macro photo site selection shall also be considered. Because it relates to the composition and the resulting color will be. Here are simple steps that I normally do in making macro photos:
   
Shooting time is strongly recommended mornings 6:00 to 09:00 pm or afternoon 16:00 to 17:00 pm, because at that hour the intensity of sunlight is not too hard. It is most appropriate is in the morning, clear of leaves, flower petals or other supporting object still looks fresh. Then the object in terms of animals are also not very active, unlike macro photos other photos because objects tend to be very small and we must also be observant and extra careful in walking so that objects do not move away. Distance taking also into consideration, because each animal has a circle of fear (COF) or the maximum distance between us and animals. If we exceed the limit of COF they will go quickly.
   
The lens is the most vital tool in macro photos. In this case it is advisable to use a macro lens. Keep in mind that we aim at the object to be sized very small and it takes a very close distance. The ability of macro lens or focusing can take a picture with a distance of 3 cm. No need to worry for those who do not have a macro lens. There is a cheap son of a simple way is to reverse lens technique, commonly known by inverting lenses. For the sake of better security we use the lens ring are sold. O The compensation is the auto focus function, it will train our sensitivity.
   
Use a flash, in some ways it needed flash. Such as to pursue a catch light in the eyes of animals to make it look more alive. Flash is also helpful if the speed camera in a low condition because it can freeze objects. If equipment such as ring flash macros we already have it very good. But the flash that we use do not need to be special, because the nature of flash in macro photo just to fill in only. We can also use the built in flash contained on the camera. But issued a flash light built too hard, this will cause a shadow effect that is less harmonious. To overcome this we can reduce the flash exposure compensation on the menu at the rate of -2. Another way is to use a flash diffuser, if we do not have a diffuser can we use it is with a tissue / lens tissue that we put over the flash. Be careful with a tissue as it can be burned by the heat emitted by the flash.
   
Notice about the aperture, although the impact is different aperture when we do photo models or other large objects especially landscape photo. For example, the diaphragm f4, f5 that we apply to photo model will produce a sharp image. As with the macro picture at f8 just that sometimes there are parts that look not sharp. This is caused by the DOF (depth of field) is very narrow because of the distance lens to object too close. Therefore, make sure the aperture adapted to the object that we aim at. In the retrieval of objects such as insects often required aperture f8-f10 range.
   
Practice your breathing, this is the final stage. You may ask why should practice breath ...? In this case we emphasized hold your breath one second before the shutter is in the press and 3 seconds after the shutter is pressed. It turned out that by holding the breath of our bodies tend to be more stable and photos that we produce will also be sharper because there is no movement when the shutter is pressed. Obviously with the position of our bodies that are comfortable and the room is not too complicated. Legal rule of thumb still applies with a minimum speed 1/focal length X crop factor. Good luck, may be useful.

I took a picture of a paint preview pallete, and then used it to make a kaleidoscope.

I cropped a peice out, and cut half of that part out to make a triangle. I then used that to copy, and re-copy, then realign so it looks like a kaleidoscope.

The Macro setting on a digital camera allows the photographer to strictly focus on one thing, increasing the detail in the picture and making the background more blurry. I would like to photograph not only typical things like flowers, plants, leaves, etc., but also random things that you dont usually see in Macro, like books, jewelry, people, animals.

FinePix REAL 3D V3 - 3D Digital Viewer - Brighter, glasses-free

Fujifilm continues to stay at the forefront of 3D imaging technology with the introduction of the new FinePix REAL 3D V3. FinePix REAL 3D V3 sports some exciting new functionality that takes your viewing of 3D still photos and movies to the next level.

Key improvements have been made to the screen, which is substantially brighter than its predecessor and now uses a lenticular system for glasses-free 3D viewing, plus the V3 Viewer also supports High Definition 3D still photos and movie playback as well as compatibility to other 3D devices via HDMI input: a world’s first in a 3D Digital Viewer*.

Glasses-free LCD monitor

The FinePix REAL 3D V3 Viewer is the first from Fujifilm to use a lenticular system for viewing images. The “no-glasses required” system makes for crystal clear 3D images, and don’t suffer from any on-screen flickering.

Images are viewed through a series of lenses aligned on a sheet at left and right angles. As a result, the left and right eyes view different images with the parallax difference between the two eyes creating the 3D effect. With 2.88 million dots and LED backlighting, you will be able to see images with amazing sharpness and clarity.

Naturally, the V3 Viewer doesn’t only support 3D still photos and movies, standard 2D still photos and movies can also be viewed at a maximum resolution to 10,000 x 10,000 pixels. The full colour display offers an impressive 16.77 million colours to provide superb colour accuracy and has a wide viewing angle of up to 160° horizontally and 140° vertically.

HDMI compatibility - a world’s first

With the range of 3D products expanding, Fujifilm has become the first company to incorporate an HDMI input on a 3D viewer, which extends its compatibility and versatility. 3D images can be viewed by connecting HDMI-enabled 3D devices including FinePix REAL 3D W3 digital camera, Blu-ray disc players, video camcorders and gaming machines to the FinePix REAL 3D V3 Digital Viewer.

Bring your 3D High Definition movies to life on the new V3 viewer

Users capturing 3D movies can view them in 720p High Definition on the FinePix REAL 3D V3 Digital Viewer, a substantial improvement over the VGA-only offering from the V1 Viewer. What’s more, the V3 Viewer’s built-in stereo speakers offer high quality sound to enhance the movie viewing experience.

Additional functionality for greater versatility

The FinePix REAL 3D V3 Digital Viewer offers a range of viewing options to ensure the still photos and movies are seen at their very best. Its black frame emphasises the 3D effect while the supplied stand can be adjusted in eight steps so you’re always assured of seeing the perfect 3D image. In addition the V3 Viewer can be mounted on a pocket tripod and finely adjusted to display optimum 3D images.

Additional built in features include a slideshow function, calendar, clock and timer displays, plus the compatibility to play WAV audio files in slideshow mode and support SD and SDHC memory cards. A remote control is also provided for hands-free operation.

Fujifilm FinePix REAL 3D V3 Viewer key features:

Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 50mm 1:2.0 Macro Review

The Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 50mm 1:2.0 Macro was one of the very first Four Thirds system lenses, announced along with the launch of the E-1 back in June 2003. With an unusually fast maximum aperture for a macro lens, it's described as a dual purpose optic also suitable for portraits; indeed it's the closest to a classic portrait prime Olympus currently produces. The optical design is suitably complex for a macro lens, with 11 elements in 10 groups including 1 ED glass element, and includes a floating focus system for optimum correction across the entire distance range. This enables a minimum focus distance of 0.2m, giving a 1:2 (0.5x) maximum magnification, which translates to an image area similar to that obtained using a 1:1 macro lens on the 35mm full-frame format. The lens incorporates Olympus's 'focus-by-wire' system, whereby the manual focus ring is used to drive the lens's AF motor electronically (as opposed to being mechanically coupled to the focus unit).

The 50mm F2.0 Macro is also designed for full integration with Olympus's macro flash system, with both the RF11 ring flash and TF22 twin flash units attaching via the FS-FR1 adaptor ring to a bayonet mount at the front of the lens (which is also used for the hood). Additionally, it can be used with the EX-25 extension tube to achieve 1:1 magnification, and with the EC-14 teleconverter to give a 70mm F 2.8 lens (although in this case Olympus does not recommend using apertures larger then F4).

All of this flexibility comes in a relatively compact and lightweight package (particularly in comparison to equivalent lenses designed for larger formats), and the 50mm F2.0 macro is also one of the the cheapest options for Four Thirds users who require a fast short telephoto lens for portrait shooting and shallow depth of field effects. So does the performance match the potential, and is this a lens which should be in every E-system user's bag?
Use of the Panasonic L10 as Four Thirds test body

We have chosen to use the Panasonic L10 as our standard test body for Four Thirds lenses purely because it gives the highest numbers in our resolution tests (which we believe is most likely due to it having a relatively weak anti-aliasing filter); this is intended simply to provide the fairest comparison to other manufacturers' systems. The samples gallery contains images shot with the Panasonic L10, Olympus E-3 and Olympus E-420 bodies.
