[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 263756, member: 15805"] Can't find the 'how to' shot for the first one, but it's the creases on the end of a toothpaste tube. Second one is a push-pin: [IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography/What%20is%20it/WII134SF.jpg[/IMG] Third one is a Phillips-head screw: [IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography/What%20is%20it/WII107SF.jpg[/IMG] In all cases, they are taken with a Nikon PB-6 bellows and a reversed Nikkor 28/2.8 Ai. A BR-6 and BR-2A allow the lens to be reversed and control of the aperture for focus/composing and closing down for shooting. The entire rig looks like this: [IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography/Macro%20Gear%20primer/12reversed28onbellows.jpg[/IMG] [U][URL="http://nikonites.com/macro/18175-show-us-your-macro-setup.html#post221928"][COLOR=#0000cd]Here[/COLOR][/URL][/U] a link to the entire set-up. All three are focus stacks, due to the exceedingly shallow DOF inherent to shooting such small subjects. Movement for the stacking is done with the focus rail. Shot with a pair of 300ws monolights (sometimes with a reflector, sometimes with umbrellas). Shot in raw, images are processed in bulk with Capture NX2. Exported to JPEGs, where CombineZM does the focus stacking. A bit of touch-up to remove the artifacts of stacking, and normal editing after that. [/QUOTE]
