Day 112 - Threaded

Playing with the macro lens...

[Michelle]

Nice!!!!

[Simply Amanda]

Very cool macro. Great detail, Zkev:)!

[Anita Campbell]

Nice macro! Interesting what those lens can bring out......

[Paul King]

Stunning macro image and live the toning !

[Paul King]

Love that was not live

[Scatts]

Great shot, nice to see some macro pics coming from that new lens of yours

[Jan Penny]

That's either a very big needle or a great macro shot! Great shot.

[Antonio Vigil]

great macro

[JoeBoo]

When I told you to get knotted earlier...

Love the chrome & thread textures. Great clarity too...

[April]

Super macro! Even my old tired eyes can see the eye of that needle.

[bardejov]

Great idea and excellent shot. I'll have to try it with my macro rings. I'm curious about the 2.5 sec. exposure ..did you use ND filter ?

[Kev]

@bardejov Hi bardejov - no, light wasn't very good but I had a tripod so I took the opton of low ISO and longer shutter speed. Interested to know if anyone thinks that's the best option or not.

[Chippy Minton]

I cannot get the results I want with my macro, you make it look so ^%4*&"@ easy mate ...

Oh, fav for the simplicity and resolution

[Kev]

@ch1ppy_m1nton Thanks mate - sorry to hear that. Don't know if it helps, but I used manual focus and live view and zoomed in using the zoomy button - that seemed to work to really well in this (still life) case.

[Kev]

@aecasey @joeboo @jsvigil @janpenny @scatts @paul2782 @paul2782 @aglennc @amandal @ridley Thanks all - didn't quite come out how I'd envisaged - wanted more of a background, but I got the colours wrong.

[Malc Bird]

Great macro, fantastic detail and focus and a great idea for a shot. I think the low ISO helps with reduced noise and adds to the clarity

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

Nice one! I must dig out my macro lens - it must be due an outing.

[Kev]

@malc @steampowered Thanks guys - I tend to go for low ISO if possible, particularly if I can keep the camera still.

[Darren Juden]

Great shot - would love to capture a shot like this - but alas my little camera wouldn't cope!!

[Kev]

@darrenboyj Thanks Darren - you do great shots with your little camera. Have to admit that this is one area where a bit better kit does make a difference, though.

[Breigh]

Nice macro! That's an area I really need to work on but I dont' have a proper macro lens. Time to start writing to Santa haha

[Kev]

@breigh Thanks Breigh - have to admit they're good fun!
