What lens are you using, and are you stacking the shots? I ask because your depth of field doesn't look as shallow as I would expect, the shots are incredibly clear. Dare I say...? Your photos are rivaling those of Doobie Duck's!! :o (I dared!)

 

[Growin Grass]

Now I'm a firm believe of "if it's too good to be true..." and it damn near had me thinking that stuff is unreal

its a very cheap sigma lens 20-80 mm and you have to lock it into 80mm to use the macro mode - the lens I want (minolta 100mm f2.8) is about 300-400 used for a near mint quality - almost all the near mint ones I have seen on ebay are out of japan - so I think there might be some customs tax too - but we are taking about glass from the 80s and 90s and I am having a hard time pulling the trigger bc I dont want to have to deal with a return if there is an issue

persoanlly I dont think my shizz is nowhere near what DD is putting out - but thanks that is one hellofa compliment

I'm trying to remember what lens @Coir uses for his macros, it's a 65mm something (drawing a total blank, my brainfart fu is strong), but it's better than what I have as it can get the really close shots. It requires use of a rail, I'm guessing you have something like that because stabilization is so important here. That lens that I'm brainfarting on runs $1,200-$1,600 online. I assumed you were already using it. so THERE!

Are you familiar with the stacking software? I've played with it in GIMP using my not-so-macro macro lens on the Canon. While I love seeing depth of field, removing that from these kinds of macro shots does make for more amazing.

We SERIOUSLY need a new underwater photog rig. I just realized that. The Oly 8080 is D-E-A-D dead after that one dive.

My dad says don't worry about Japanese glass not working out (he's been an "amateur" photog since before I was born. So "amateur" he studied with Ansel Adams), just get it if you find it.

coir, dd and fractal roots all use that canon lens your trying to think of - i think its a 65mpe or something like that - most good macro glass can do a 1:1 but the mpe is capable of a 5:1 image - pair that with a 20 something megapixel sensor and you can crop 100% and really get in there

Minolta made a 3:1 lens - thing looks like it is lab grade - pretty fricking bad ass with its own (vertical) rail system built in - the 2 i have seen on ebay were 1500 and 1700




but Im going to try some bellows or extension tubes

have also loved canon glass and video cameras - did a lot of work with the xl platform in the 90's all the way until hd became standard - I could see myself buying a canon body at some point

I have a Sigma 20-80 that came with my old rebel (film), sadly it doesn't work on my newer digital rebel....gotta get one and I always forget to hunt on ebay for them.

sock drawer love

that jsd sure is purdy!

 

[usstoner]

right on...a sock drawer full of chronic...good times...

 

[MrBelvedere]

Mother lode this isthmus only time I wish I was one of your socks.

 

[motherlode]

ok so time to get this back rockin in here - this time with quite a few changes

back to everything in trays with my patented 2 layer trellis setup - pots are 3,5 gal buckets I got free from my local bakery - medium this time is a 50/50 coco/perlite mix and the hand watering will be a thing of the past - also the next pics I post should include the new gavita 600/750 de lights and controller I am about to pick up and I am also trying out them greenstone nutes and most of their additives

I am running gorilla glue 4 and some white fire (last of my first run seeds) 4 plants per light - I need a new wifi keeper

some of the killer additives from Greenstone with a close up of the canopy i think day 4 or 5

and here is the canopy as of a few days ago - week 1 in the books

 

[motherlode]

came out from the flower room to grab my phone to take a quick shot of the canopy (under gavitas now) and smelled something acrid - like maybe wires heating up about to start a fire - zip open the tent - nothing going bad in there - open the back door to go check out the breakers and it hits me...

SKUNK!!! so fucking strong - I was just taking in a deep whiff to see if I could still smell the "burning wires" lol - maybe it had to spray a coyote or something - sure hope it got away bc I have no interest in disposing of a skunk carcass

my eyes are still watering

so I will at least get a snapshot of the (totally out of hand) canopy and post it up later

 

[motherlode]

so here we are day 20 - quite full now - my favorite wifi pheno (so far) is that runt - damn thing blew up on flip and already has more bud formation then anything on the table

you might be thinking the room has a purple (cold) hue for hps bulbs - that is due to the method 7 camera filter Im holding in front of my cellphone illustrated in the second shot
