Hi Teree,
Thank you very much for your comments. It really isn't as hard as it looks. This is how most were done: Set the camera on manual exposure mode Use a fast shutter speed 1/200 or above Stop aperture down to f11 or small aperture Set ISO 80 for max detail Set camera to manual focus Attach an external flash, (I use the Sunpak or Quantary 383) I cut a piece of mat board for a bounce card and I use Velcro to attach This flash output can be adjusted manually. Trial and error here, adjust for proper exposure, half power is usually what works for me, I use histogram frequently. Attach the close up lens (I used DCR-250) can be challenging to focus, (very powerful) Focus is the hardest thing, I frequently use a monopod and move camera to focus. Use zoom to control amount of magnification Here is a link to how the camera is set up.... http://www.bafrank.com/macro/imagepages/image154.html Thanks again, Bob |
