Really enjoyed both of these. I think I preferred the shorter, upbeat one overall but I think both videos are great. I was particularly impressed by sponge and teabag images.
Can I ask what techniques you used to get this level of magnification. I can see you've had to stack these images, but did you use microscope objectives or a lens? What was your studio setup like?
Really top notch work!
Excellent, I thought some of those shots required greater magnification than you can get with the kit lens, but apparently not! Great result and demonstrates what is achievable with simple kit and good technique.Hi TimmyG!
I use a Canon T3i with the kit lens reversed, and a tripod, that's it! The rest is improvised, for example piles of books to keep the object at the right height, and then natural light, though a couple of images were lit with an ordinary table lamp. The stacking was manual in the sense that I had to move the lens bit by bit with my hand and then used HeliconFocus to stack them together.
