A Re-Edit of the balloon flower I took a while back.

 

[Deezey]

Hmmmm....it is attaching the pics as attachments now. Instead of placing the into the post like before. Odd.

 

[Deezey]

Ok. So as some may know I downloaded Nik Tools.
So here is some more playing around figuring stuff out!

 

[Deezey]

[Deezey]

And what did it look like before NIK?

Right now I am trying to get Dfine2 and Viveza2 working. They are not opening for me right now.

 

[Deezey]

yeah....uploads are acting funny for me now. but these 2 pics. one was LR4 and the other darker one is Nik

 

[Deezey]

OK....I admit I may be having way too much fun tweaking older photos. Had a wintery mix here today so I didn't leave the house much.

 

[Don Kuykendall_RIP]

I still pull out older photos that I like and go back to the original and redo. I thought they were good shots then....It is amazing what a difference Nik can make. You could probably do all of it with PhotoShop but the work and skill involved would be daunting. Nik just makes is easy.

It almost feels like cheating at times.....almost

Sooooooo........I got the Raynox!!!

My 50mm 1.8D

And a Dime.

 

[Lawrence]

Nice!
Now let the fun being

 

[Deezey]

Yes....this is going to be very fun.

So far I am liking it best on the 55-200. Simple to put on and pretty easy to use. Auto focus still works quite well too. Which surprised me. now I just need some bugs.....in December.....in Ohio. And a few flowers too.....

 

[Deezey]

While it may not be a macro lens...I am actually pretty happy with it. DOF is pretty shallow, but I can't compare it to an actual macro lens (would assume it to be similar). But so far so good. Pretty easy to use, and the longer the lens the better the magnification. Really ups the close focus distance. I was down to a very tiny sub 6 inches with the 55-200. Close focus distance for this lens is normally 1.1 meters (just over 43 inches!).

Build quality is plastic. All plastic but the lens. And the lens caps are just push ons. Comes with a plastic box for safe keeping, no lens sock. But really for the price (sub $80) it seems to be a fairly good investment into macro. Perfect for testing the waters.

No problems with Auto Focus that I could tell. It did not even seem to slow the D90 down a bit. My shots in the previous posts were done no less than f18 and ISO800! On board flash was NOT fired but the use of a tripod was needed for most photos.

Just did a quick check!
The dime photo was 200mm@f32, ISO800, 1/100th.
The 50mm 1.8D was at 90mm@f18, ISO800, 1/4 sec.
Both photos taken with the 55-200 and Raynox DCR-250.

All in all I am very pleased with my initial results!!

 

[Deezey]

Ran it through most of the Nik Tools. had a ton of fun goofing off with this. It's a poor photo seems how I cropped off some of the dime. But I had fun and turned it into something i kinda like.

Enjoy mate, it sures adds a new dimension to the lenses that it goes on.
