... is this one. The tutorial is fantastic, but the images are better. Click on the Gallery link on the sidebar of that site. The guy is a genius with the camera.
H/T: Tim. I started clicking around from a link at his wonderful site and found this one.
Wow, those *are* pretty impressive.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that I think is worth noting: He's doing that with 3-4 megapixel cameras. Which shows that for macrophotography, what matters is not the size of your sensor. What matters is the quality of the glass you put in front of the camera, and how well you manage the light that goes through it.
So, save the money you would have spent on some 15 megapixel monstrosity, and spend it on the lenses and flash instead.
The importance of the flash is probably greater than one might think. You need to have tons of ambient light, so you can't have the flash illuminating the target like a laser beam. If you did that, you'd end up with odd highlights and saturation points.
