Anyone else do this? Show your pics

I did it yesterday and promptly deleted the files after a quick preview.

Quite funny I think. You can almost see the bogeys.

Pity about the focusing though....

 

[Kim]

lol at the bull.................I nearly choked on my tea when I saw that.

Yep it is annoying. I have to get their "beaks" right in the camera to get a good effect - but can't focus that close. They were taken with a screw-on .50X adapter. Maybe a more extreme one like .25X would allow me to get the effect from further away.

Great fun taking these photos though !

I forgot about that.

I found a book of these, which inspired me

I have been wondering for ages how they got those shots. I tried myself when I first got my camera but they look awful and I never tried since.

Guess you need to use a very small aperture to get the whole head in sharp focus when that close to the lens.

Hummmm must try it again with my 10-20

 

[Simmotino]

Did it once. Pig tried to eat the 10-20. Haven't done it since! :nono:

Heres Millie our mog with the 10mm end of the 10-20

Open wide, a tired moggy mid wawn - a bit too close to focus.

Put em up, a tired iritable moggy with a camera pointed at her.

at the bull

 

[D.S.]

Ha-ha much better than my last attempt, with better background, lights and more patient dog they wouldn’t be too bad lol.

One day i'll remember to check the blinking iso lol.

Biggles

 

[Harvey_nikon]

loving the lion and biggles, it must be the fact that he has no body that makes him look sad

 

[CyBeRkId2002]

my god... how did you get the lion shot?

 

[minky_monkey]

With a 10-20mm up against the wire and her right up close on the other side at one of the WHF days.

She kept breathing on the lens and steaming it up! lol.

At least you got the eyes in focus Hacker, all I got was the tip of the nose!! Beautiful eyes in that shot.

Biggles

[munchycarrot]

I think i have one of Pip, our Jack Russell, must go and find it. The one of Biggles almost made me fall off my chair

hope it's ok to put 3 up...? They're not brilliant, she fidgets far too much

 

[JDholic]

I do it as well!!

 

[Weetobix]

My pitiful attempts.

 

[Kaben]

hahaha, so many noses!

 

[desantnik]

What a great thread

 

[dazzajl]

Some great shots in here, the last 5 in the original post really appeal to me. Biggles is great but weetobix, I just AOL'd because of yours.


Ahhhhh'd out loud.

 

[Marc]

Wonderful stuff. It was one of the first things I did when I got my 10-20. Spend ages cleaning horse slobber of the filter though!

This is the only one I managed to get at WHF, will try much harder next month.

 

[smithe]

wow some great photos, how on earth did you get that top lion photo without being eaten
