Καλησπέρα Όλγα...
Λοιπόν, αυτό αποδεικνύει ότι όσο πάμε και γινόμαστε ...αφρικάνοι...χαχαχα
Εγώ τα φοβάμαι, γενικά είμαι πολύ φοβητσιάρης (χαχα...κότα...) αλλά μπροστά σε μία καλή φωτογραφία μάλλον παίρνω περισσότερα ρίσκα. Τέλος πάντων, είμαι άνθρωπος της... ασφάλειας, δεν γουστάρω εκπλήξεις (συνήθως είναι δυσάρεστες) και γενικά αποφεύγω κάτι που δεν γνωρίζω (ως εκ τούτου ένα έντομο... που δεν ξέρω τι μπορεί να μου κάνει)
Τα μάκρο φίλτρα δεν μπορώ να πω ότι βοηθάνε και πολύ, κάνουν τους φακούς να... αλληθωρίζουν, και χάνουν την εστίαση (το έχω δοκιμάσει με cokin φίλτρα)
Η καλύτερη λύση είναι ένας φακός 1:1 και όνειρο μου είναι να βάλω στο χέρι τον MP65mm, έναν φακό της Canon που μπορεί να πενταπλασιάσει το αντικείμενο πάνω στον αισθητήρα της μηχανής...
(σημείωση, όταν λέμε ένας φακός είναι 1:1 αυτό σημαίνει ότι π.χ. ένα μυρμηγκάκι μη μήκος 0,5εκ θα καταλάβει το ίδιο μήκος πάνω στον αισθητήρα) Άρα όπως καταλαβαίνεις ο MP65mm που τα... πενταπλασιάζει φτάνει να βγάζει φωτογραφίες σε... μικρόβια από απόσταση σχεδόν μισού μέτρου...
Βέβαια θα πρέπει να δουλεύω κανά χρόνο για να έχω τα λεφτά...
Όσο για τον κόσμο που μας βλέπει εδώ (και γενικά σε κάθε site) πρέπει να γράφουμε αρκετά σχόλια, αυτό είναι όλο, κανένας δεν θα δει την δουλειά μας αν εμείς δεν δούμε τις δικές τους, και έτσι όταν κάτσω καμιά ώρα, γράφω πολλά σχόλια, μα πάρα πολλά... και έτσι αρκετοί ανταποδίδουν το ενδιαφέρον... βέβαια όχι όλοι αλλά... έτσι είναι η ζωή... Υπάρχουν πολλοί χρήστες που έχουν πολύ περισσότερα views and comments από εμένα... πάρα πολλοί...
Καλό βράδυ Όλγα!

από το Μαρόκο ε;Και ποιος κατάφερε να τη φέρει χωρίς να το καταλάβει;Αράχνη από τον τόπο σου κι ας είναι και...τεσπά, εμένα μου αρέσουν τα έντομα κατά κάποιο περίεργο τρόπο και δεν τα απεχθάνομαι καθόλου εκτός από τις γνωστές Τερέζες.
Έχω πάρει κάτι μάκρο φίλτρα που κάνουν δουλειά καλή για πορτράιτα , αλλά θα ήθελα και έναν καλό φακό μάκρο.Αναμένω να δω με τα οικονομικά.
ΜΠράβο για τη δουλειά που κάνεις, ανταμείβεσαι με το να σε βλέπουν εκαντοντάδες κόσμος, ΚΑΛΕ αυτό πρώτη φορά το βλέπω σε χρήστη του usefilm!Impressed!

lol... Αγαπητή Όλγα... όταν έχεις ένα καλό macro τηλεφακό (σος... συνδυασμός Sigma 150mm macro 1:1 και 2Χ μετατροπέα + την μεγέθυνση του αισθητήρα δηλαδή 150μμ Χ 2 Χ 1,6) δεν έχεις κανένα πρόβλημα να φωτογραφίσεις και φίδι... από απόσταση 10-15 μέτρων...
Συμπέρασμα, δεν είμαι και τόσο ατρόμητος... χαχαχα!
Περίεργο ζώο, φοβητσιάρα αράχνη για το μέγεθος της αν και μπορεί να μας κάνει μεγαλύτερη ζημιά από μία μέλισσα... απ ότι έμαθα μετά...
Κατάγεται από Μαρόκο...

Excellent! It's a great shot and a great post processing! I like this partial desaturation you did here, the spider looks great eventhough I don't like them as well as I don't like the snakes. :)

hahahaha....well Mojgan I was scared to death watching that thing moves her legs.....aggrrr....bliaxxxx.....but at the same time I couldn't resist...after all I have pay lot of cash to buy the Sigma 150mm macro...and that lens is for these jobs...when you simple cannot be veeeeery closed to things that can be dangerus......
ok....it is really big...but for European spiders I think, for other kinds that is simple....microscopic hahaha...but because of its colors at its belly that spider must have enouph neawrotoxins to give to a human enouph pain for a couple of hours....:-D

actualy not soooo closed... but less nature Michele IS less nature and that is bad not for the people they live there but for everybody on that planet...I hate to see distractions...especialy these we can see them in big size even from the space...that means a lot to everybody and any fire, any kind of polution have a reault to anybody......that rocky sphere is not sooooo big as we thing...I mean the planet...

There you go scaring children again. I think you need to come to New Mexico and play with the snakes.
I do like this top view better than the bottom view... and still some good detail in this.

Well 580 II is gooooood...it's fast most of all, you can take a scoptophotograph using JUST one flash!!! ok...not THE fast but you have a very fast flash that gives 1 light per 0.8sec!!!!! So you can have a 5 second long exposure shot with 5 to 6 flashes and you understand what that means for artworks...
the only thing is that you must let it...cool down after 20 fires...only 20... :-(

OOOPS! She's back again! She may be the best beauty around (and a beauty-pageant winner) in the spider world (may be the Miss Spider Universal), I don't like the look of her. And your PP job makes her more visible, and I shuddered by the thought that if she chooses to crawl on my neck, what should I do! Good Shot John [of a bad spider :)]
