[A]lmost [a]n [a]ccident.

Note to self: When bike is very wet and surface is very wet, brake sooner and slower than usual.

I received some camera goodies in the mail. One was a reverse macro adaptor ring. I still had to take about 40 shots just to get a few that had some parts in focus, but at least I wasn't worried about dropping my lens. This is part of my bike, with one of my windows and oil seen in/on the water droplets. Another alphabet challenge, coming your way. Hopefully.

oooh awesome! i want some of those. were you able to get the ones on amazon? or somewhere else?

[Jenn]

Yay for RM rings! Takes some getting used to and I've found it's less frustrating in bright sunlight. Great first shot! Hope you weren't almost smooshed due to wet brakes :)

I love my reverse macro thingy! Hard to master it at first but it can be done! @laurentye I ordered mine from amazon!

[Lauren]

@meggageg hmmmm i recall trying to order them and not being able to because it wasn't able to be shipped to canada...or something like that.

[Jenn]

@laurentye I found the same thing. Got mine from a US ebay store. Ring and a UV filter for just over $20!
Where did you end up getting yours Janna? How long did it take?

[Lauren]

@shutterbugger thanks Jenn, i think then maybe i will try ebay, unless Janna has found hers somewhere within canada...

[Meagan Aaron]

@laurentye Ah, bummer well hopefully Janna can help ya out.

[Janna Dawn Goldrup]

@laurentye @shutterbugger Yep, on ebay. Fotodiox out of Illinois (link below for kit lens size). Was pretty quick - I was worried the postal strike would mess it up for me, but didn't. Jenn, I am glad to hear you got a cheap UV filter; I was just schooled when I ordered my 50mm....UV not needed for digital cams. There are clear ones now that will cover off the 'protection of lens' angle. Ticks me off a teeny bit that I was sold UV filters for my 2 other lenses at a cam shop in Calgary. A shop I loved.

@shutterbugger ~ Oh ya, bright sun I should try next time. Sometimes hard to come by in the Maritimes though. ;)

[Jenn]

@jgoldrup Same place I got mine. Henry's wanted $20 for a filter...so I jumped at getting one for under $5. Good to know about the glass. Where did you get your 50? That's next on my list!

[Lauren]

thanks Janna, I took a look and have bookmarked it! appreciate it :)

[Janna Dawn Goldrup]

@shutterbugger ~ At Atlantic Photo Supply. I think it's a franchise-type chain, though, with the 'Atlantic' part replaced with something locally relevant. Under $5? Good on you. I will likely pay more for a clear filter at Atlantic. Won't order one on ebay all buy it's lonesome.

[Janna Dawn Goldrup]

@laurentye ~No problem...Jenn gave it to me in the first place!

[Kerri]

Great shot

[Bob G]

Great shot, and glad you learned the lesson before it became more painful.

[Sarah D P]

Love it! Great focus!

[Jani M]

Nice, macro shots are such fun to do!

[Bill Dodsworth]

Cool capture!

[alia_801]
