Iduna Posted May 30, 2012 Share #1  Posted May 30, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) [ATTACH]318081[/ATTACH]  got it after 30 minutes on my knees  [ATTACH]318082[/ATTACH]  the dragon-fly kept its distance constantly almost at 2 mtrs and better for me not to fall into my uncle's pond.   these days the weather is so lovely I went to the garden hunting for some insects.  Trying to find out about how to handle an Elmarit 90 R-lens on a Canon MKII in a small depth of field. The bee was a matter of patience and the dragon-fly kepts its flight distance from me as an unexperienced hunter.  since I want to get closer I'll probably search for an 180 mm Elmarit. due to scaling down the 2nd one may look a bit blurred but it is not as Tiff with 6 MB.  Thanks for taking time and looking.

Iduna Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share #8 Â Posted June 1, 2012 Caryl, Mark, Bob, Â thank you for appreciating my first effort, I'll try to get more and even better results. Â Mark, the extension tube is great because there is no blurr due to any glass. But the deph of field is very small, therefore I am happy you liked the sharpness. Although I am working to be more precise here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
