Thought I would post a video of Thomas Shahan, I think his work is one of my biggest places for inspiration.
Macro inspiration
- Thread starter Scott Murray
- Start date
Hey Scott while you are kicking back there with a beer something Thomas said made me dig out my Pentax.
I have all the connections and discovered that my old 50mm lens makes a great macro (as he said in the video). So I have an extra macro lens
I'm going to test it against my Tamron tomorrow.
Happy days!

Excellent mate, am looking forward to seeing your results.

Thomas mentioned backgrounds. What I found good was printing out a background and holding it behind the subject. Such as this photo.

Or a natural (very low) profile shot.

People think macro is hard, here is a photo that I took tonight after nearly a year not taking a macro. It is not that hard.

I 'Think' I meant I move in / out the focus until the subject is in a suitable frame/crop and focal range.

My current set up is a Tamron 90mm Macro lens coupled with a Raynox DCR-250, I use an onboard diffuser with the onboard flash. I am working on getting alot closer but have nothing I am extremely happy with that is portable.
