Fotografie in Stereo

Your macro photos are doing exceptionally well, in getting that 3D effect.

Thank you and best regards, Christian

Thanks, Christian.

My standard aperture is f11 for m4/3, which many people expect to be a disaster.

I have been shooting pairs for many decades, starting with transparencies, where cropping is not an option.

I work mostly on location, bringing some of the smaller subjects into the "studio", aka kitchen. I shoot potential stereo pairs at every opportunity.

I have been thinking of digitising some of my transparency pairs, as individual frames for potential cropping. That's a few months away.

I have been uploading, here and elsewhere, some images up to 10 years old, mainly because the majority since then have been with my 4/3 50mm AF macro (using manually) on m4/3.

However, I have negleced my Photars, which qualify for here.

Regards.

These fungi were growing in a woodland, partly immersed in a shallow stream. This is the only time I have found them

I fitted my Photar 25mm, at f11 or f16, on my EM_1 via the extension for FOV approx 3.5mm wide but that proved too difficult for framing. I shortened the extension to give a FOV 5mm wide.

Here are the first of the broom shrub flowers of the year (May 2016). I like the way the group of flowers splayed outwards. EM-1, Kiron 70-150mm at f16 (Aperture Priority+twin TTL flash)

This cactus is a separate species in the same genus as the Christmas/Easter/Holiday cactus but its leaf-like stems are sub-cylindrical. It is overall miniature in comparison. I have had this species for many years, finding it difficult to keep alive. To my surprise it has now produced a flower.

The lens (M39 mount) I used arrived today and I found the inside (front) of the rear element has extensive but fine fungus. This was a test to see how much it might affect images. I have seen no effect here but the subject is not the best test. Anyway, enjoy!

I took shots at f11 and f16 but none at f11 were sharp.

I can't remove duplicate attachment. The second one is not required.
