Some new oil on water macros, there's a "Weekend Project" feature written by yours truly in the current (January) edition of "Practical Photography" if you fancy having a go at these yourself :D

omg...they are unbelievable!

how do you come up with these ideas! lol

they have so much 3D and depth to them!

fantastic I love em.
 
Very striking pictures. Great colours and the last two in particular, have a near 3D look to them. Lovely stuff(y)
 
Fantastic. You sure you've not wondered into a parallel universe???

no#2 is my favourite of a cracking set. Great lighting too (y)
 
unbeievable Carl, they are all awesome but no2 stands out for me

guess i will have to go and get mag
 
Seen quite a few of these shots and these are as good as any I've seen before (y)
 
I like them all but #2 best of all :clap::clap:

My limited experience of macro (but none with your imagination) gave me hellish dof problems, is the depth in #2 in particular just an illusion ??

Cheers Jamie, the DOF is minimal but somehow there's a lot of perceived depth to that shot - I can only think that it's the lighting that has helped create that feeling?? The DOF on the Raynox is non-existent - aperture makes little to no difference due to the fixed and very short focal distance.

Stunning shots Carl ... Terrific lighting and great colour (y)
 
amazing pictures!!!

I looked around a bit on your flickr and you have some interesting/unique macro shots (y)

really like the light/laser through lenses as well

Cheers, the laser stuff is a "work in progress" ;) My next project involves hair-gel... stay tuned!!
 
Look very much like computer-generated 3d renderings. Interesting shots.
 
Nice pictures Carl i have just read your artical in Practical Photography on it. It is good reading ans i am going to give it a go myself. Well done for the artical.(y)
 
They really are stunning! Do you have and shots of the setup used for this? I feel like making a new desktop wallpaper :)

(y)


Edit: Just had a look at the rest of your photostream, it's amazing! You've got a real gift for this kind of thing!

Cheers Chris, sent you a PM about the setup etc. Stay tuned as I'm constantly trying new stuff and I've got some plans for 2010 ;)

These really are good, off out tomorrow to buy that mag, really interested to see how you achieved that effect, as someone said in a previous post it looks 3d.
