Macro Photography

[Baja.Beaches]

I haven't seen one like that. I was talking to this dude on IG, chronicles of bhodley. He was telling me about a $300 unit that he was pretty impressed with. Can't remember what it's called, all I was thinking was.... great another way to spend more money, lol. I'll probably buy a nice one in the future.

I hear you, technology changes so dang fast I try not to chase it. Being a big spender I had a $100 price limit.

I have not seen a 4k one yet that is worthwhile but I haven't been looking lately. Did you look at that $300 one? Curious if it is a 4k.

It is a useful toy, I sure play with it a lot, pests & trichs.

He didn't mention the brand. Just said it was 4k UHD and up to 3500x magnification.

Cool thread. I just bought a new USB microscope, I'll try to put a couple pics up tonight.

Those are handy to have let me tell ya. lol

A few from my GDP.
Here's one where further zooming was cool

and some randoms.

Going through some of my older pics, they might not be "macro" shots, maybe someday. lol

I just use a Canon Powershot, either set on Auto or Macro. I found that macro gets better shots if you have a steady hand, but unless you are using flash, pushing the button can move the camera just enough for blur.

Might just be on my camera or how I'm using it, but if the flash is up the picture seems more 'instantaneous" or something. Even if it's on auto and the flash doesn't go off.

The auto-focus seems to want to focus on the wrong thing all the time though which is why I take a bunch of pictures, then delete 90% of them.

Another trick I use is to take a "top-down" pic of one side of a flower. With the assortment of distances available for the camera to focus on, some little nugget of the pic usually comes out clear.

@BigBallzWillie I wish we had such exotic species here, even what we have here is now in decline due to pestacides and the weather. Such a shame.
Nice image.

One of my faves. I have many plants outside just for pollinators like that Monarch butterfly. It's become a hobby, photographing them on different plants. Both the plants and the bugs, have hidden patterns that nature provides that become quite evident in a close-up.

We are all dead without pollinators!

@BigBallzWillie yeah once you get comfortable with macro and the environment in which the insects live your interest in it opens up a whole new way of thinking. You certainly don't look at flowers etc as just pretty anymore. Very rewarding doing macro but it's a lot harder than people think, very demanding.
