Selfie in the Head of a Pin
Posted in Macro on November 29, 2014 by budbranchBill Morentz of Pro Camera helped me adapt and reverse this old Konica f/1.8 50 mm onto some extension tubes. The result was sharp, high-magnification macro capability. This was my first experiment with it – that’s me reflected in the head of the pin!

Posted in 5DMII, Macro on January 27, 2013 by budbranchThe cold weather has me shooting inside: I broke open a CPU from a cast-off PC (used a bench vise and a hammer…), and made this image off a tripod using a 100mm f/2.8 macro + extension tubes. That’s the head of a straight-pin for scale.

Posted in Canon S95, Macro on December 31, 2011 by budbranchWhen I upgraded my camera body, I orphaned this nice lens. Since I haven’t used it in a year, I decided to sell it to someone who can put it to use! It is perfect for any Canon cropped-sensor digital camera:
