Oreos

I bought myself a focusing rail for my new macro lens today and I used the live view feature so I could see what I was focusing on better. Not the most exciting shot but it's from today. These are double stuffed Oreos that my husband just HAD to have!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

I have wondered what the rail is needed for. And would it work for bug macros. I have to shoot them "on the go" and all from different angles as it moves so I never us a tripod or rails. These cookies look GREAT

[vstap]

Great product shot!

[Stephen Brundage]

Ooooo - yummy!

[summerfield]

what do you mean not the most exciting! it's oreos!!!! got milk? :-) are these the mini ones or the regular ones? anyhow, i love oreos! nice macro shot!

[Lisa Villella]

Looks delish! Great shot! I have never heard of a focusing rail. Are you enjoying your new lens?

[Kerri]

Yum!

[Simply Amanda]

Mmmm, pass the high fructose corn syrup, please!! Despite the junk in them, they sure are yummy dunked in milk or crushed up in my ice cream. Love em! Super shot!

[KWind]

@amandal There were homemade chocolate chip cookies in the freezer and he bought these... bad for the arteries but tasty!

@eyeamlisa Yes, I'm loving the new lens.

[Emily Schaack]

Fun shot!

[Sue Wilde]

Super. Now I have to find out what a focusing rail is

[Kate]

Yummy!!

[Lisa Poland]

My favorite, have to fav it! Great yummy shot!

[Danette Thompson]

Great focus!

[Nicole Campbell]

They look good, I could eat one now with my coffee

[Milanie]

My goodness you did well on the focusing - such super detail.

[Rosie Kerr]

Wonderful focus... I have never heard of a focusing rail, so thank you for the introduction. :)

[Kathy]

I could hurt myself eating oreos dunked in hot coffee!!! Warm oreos are the best!! Great fcous and details!!! I never heard of a focusing rail before and had to look it up. Wouldn't a really good tri-pod do the same thing? The one I have has a rotating head and levels to make sure my angel is straight and things to lock it in place. Now ask me if I use it? LOL LOL Not yet!!!! I also have one that is small for things on the ground, it will lay flat on the ground and hold your camera in place. Haven't used that one either!!! I'm still doing everything hand held. Do love this shot and the rail must be doing it's job!!! FAV!

[Tammy]

I think that is an awesome shot - makes me hungry for Oreos!

[Annie Michelle]

Oh gosh!!! yummmm

[KWind]

@espyetta @cashew It's supposed to allow for tiny adjustments without having to move the whole tripod. It seemed to work well but is definitely for stationary shots. I don't think it would help with moving bugs.

[eDorre]

Yummy clarity!

[Nancy]

FAV love the lighting and the simplicity

[Yolandie Mostert]

Nice focus.

[Debbie]

I just had to google focusing rail!!! Looking fwd to seeing what you do with it.

[Anita Russell]

Great focus, love them on the white

[Pam Knowler]

I have a,focusing rail and keep forgetting to use it! Great shot!

[Taffy]

So intriguing to see the details. What is a focusing rail? @pamknowler I've never heard of one, and if it helps with focus, that would be terrific to have!

[Andrew]

great shot. Im looking forward to where your macro lens will take your photography.

[Pam Knowler]

@taffy You can make minute adjustments when doing macro shots. Only stationary shots though. If you do lots of macro it would be good but if you only do one now and then like me I can't be bothered to get it out and set it up!! That's me lazy!! LOL!!

[Margaret Obey]

Great shot.

[Loopy-Lou]

Delicious macro!

[Faye Turner]

Really like your focus on the front cookie! Delicious capture!

[Joan Robillard]

It is wonderfully focused.

[Kathryn]

[Cathrine Mitchell]

Oh my so tempting, I especially love how you zoomed in on the Oreo lettering.

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

I think it is against 365 Project rules to post food, particularly cookies that can cause people to want to go on a binge! Enjoying your macro pictures.

[Julie Ryan]

They are the best cookies, yum!! especially double stuff

[Chris Johnson]

Awesome macro capture!! Love how you can make out the words and the pattern on the cookies so well!
