I think the cover without any tape would be too translucent and let too much light pass through it to be an effective diffuser. I guess the good thing about using a pringle can is that the lid is a a good diffuser? Probably need a few layers of masking tape to spread the light a little more.
Split the two ends of the holder but leave the corner intact. If you don't have an iPad box, try bendable cardboard or plastic cards. Plastic will make it more durable but basically anything that's kinda hard and can be wrapped around the corner will do. Tried the removing the elements, just took a toffee hammer to front and the back, loose you dont get as close in with my way, and focus isnt improved that much.
Step 3: Attaching the Different Lenses
Jason has more than 35 years of experience as a professional photographer, videographer and stock shooter. By Vivek DoshiReturning to the kitchen, your white appliances are often very photogenic once you get in close on them. Buttons, LED displays, logos and design cues all make potentially good shots.
Furthermore, one of the most interesting ideas for macro photography is to take a photo of an ant or grass on a tree. Their paws, teeth, claws, eyes or fur can give you a lot of ideas for macro photography. Just make sure you do not get too close to them not to get hurt.
How to Make a Macro Lens
I recommend looking for simple subjects without intricate shapes to achieve the best result. If you shoot on the seashore, look for interesting artificial objects. Pay attention to beautiful harbors full of different colors.
Cars, old or new, will give you tons of macro photography ideas. Matchboxes aren’t there to be played with but they will definitely give you some atmospheric home macro photography ideas. Since macro lenses are built for close-range focus, this modification allows you to point direct on-camera flash closer than possible without a macro lens. Take a look at several creative examples of macro photography via an article by COOPH. Each image comes from an everyday household object that you might not otherwise think to photograph.
Splashes of Water
You’ll have to learn to improvise a bit with gear that you already own, until you can pick up the stuff you’ve been dreaming of. I tried it myself, but shattered the middle lens while extracting the rear lens. You can use either duct tape or tacky to keep it on. Keeping this in mind, a while ago I purchased two sturdy light stands and umbrellas to go along with it.
Grab your old camera and take it apart so that you can detach the lens from it. You might need a few tools, such as different sized screwdrivers, to get everything apart. I got the lenses out my brothers old pellet rifle's scope, you can get cheap scopes at wal-mart for a couple of bucks. They’re submerged in the chilled saltwater from earlier, but none of the saltwater will get into the containers or anything like that. The saltwater slush is going to be discarded at the end and is only meant for making the containers extra cold.
There’s no need to fret, you are about to find out about the reverse lens technique. Learn how you can create your own ‘macro lens’, using nothing more than a reversing ring and some older lenses you might have lying around. I also want to emphasize that you don’t actually need a macro lens or any special equipment to photograph any of these subjects . All you need is some creative thinking and flexibility. I’ve seen outstanding photos of everything from rocks to silverware, all done in the comfort of the photographer’s home. So, set up your camera, look for some interesting subjects, and have fun.
The kitchen has an abundance of macro possibilities. Whether you are a budding Gordon Ramsay or a Pot Noodle person, there is plenty of macro opportunities in the kitchen. If you are a coffee lover, your coffee machine, the coffee beans and the crema atop can makes for some great shots. Packaged foods can look great if well lit and creatively positioned, dried pasta of different colours or coloured sprinkles for example. If you are a reasonable horticulturalist your indoor flowers and plants can also make for great macro.
I found that I got the best light by shining my flash onto the tablecloth so it bounced from under the baking dish. Another idea is to photograph drops of water directly . Most likely, you’ve already seen some photos of water splashes and how interesting they can be up close. Some photographers go so far as to build custom droplet setups that can produce fascinating patterns of water splashes interacting.
You also have to remember to correct the white balance because artificial light often gives distorted colours. In this article, I would like to tell you how to photograph flowers at home. Regardless of whether it’s day or night, you’ll be able to achieve a very similar effect to the soft morning light. Full face portraits in natural light can look stunning. Get your pet near a large window, have something to distract them with such as a toy or food.
Look closely at your model and you will find some good macro photography ideas. Unusual macro photography ideas do not have to include any specific items. Just take a bunch of random small objects and experiment with them. Pile them up, lay them out or simply hold them in your hands. Every beginner photographer has taken photos of fruit and veggies, that is for sure. If you are looking for macro photography ideas around the house, just check your fridge or pantry, you will definitely find an apple or a banana lying around.
And it can be taken off to allow you to use the lens normally. This would be really good for taking pictures of my really small instructables. Thanks for the fast reply I will work on it , nothing fancy at first and then post my results . After I see how to improve it I'll post more results. This is a better model, but its a little harder to make. First, you'll have to find a plastic bottle that fits over the lens of your camera.
It’s better that the object is slightly underexposed, but the result is that it does look natural. I used foam in which I put in Nashi pears… and theses are available in your local grocery store.
