    A super-macro shot of a burlap fabric (the one I used for background in the World War I photo I uploaded to the Tabletop section a few days ago), using the Novoflex BALPRO T/S bellows and two stacked extension tubes with a 50 mm lens. The reproduction ratio I estimate at 12:1. I thought I would...

    Eventing: the Sport of Heroes

    As your horse takes you over a fence, you don’t look at it. You look at the next one and anticipate/calculate the trajectory that will get you to it in the best possible manner. And so, this Spanish rider is doing exactly what she should be doing! Both photos: Nikon D3S, Nikkor 200-400mm, ƒ/4 G...

    Thanks a lot, I will watch that video. I’m sure I still have tons to learn about Helicon and focus stacking.

    Another bee on lavender... The background is way too cluttered for it to be any good, but I upload it because of its technical interest: it was taken with a 135mm general photography lens on an extension tube. The ratio may not be quite 1:1 but it is close enough to show there is no need to...
