Wire Coral super macro

[Chris Bangs]

Whitehead's wonderful "mirror" goby image convinced me to dig these out and post them. both are full frame "uncropped" images shot using a 105mm and several lens attachments. Nikon N90, Dual SB-105s, Provia 100. These are very low quality jpgs, sorry!

Cowabunga! what lense?

I seem to remember using a 2X AND 1.4X, with a +4 diopter, on a 105 mm

I don't think anyone noticed. Dang, that's good shooting.

Hi Chris. GREAT shots, I've seen your gallery too. Amazing. These are a couple of pics shot with a 100mm, with backscatter. I took Mike's course in Yap in December and I'm going to see him and Tim in Bali but I would like to know how to use CS2 to take out backscatter. Is there an action available or what do you suggest?
Thanks, Dennis.

I showed you how to take out backscatter Dennis....

Its a slow process involving using the healing brush tool or the clone stamp tool to touch up each piece one by one. Remember to increase your photo to 100% when you do it.

I wouldn't trust an action not to rub out integral parts of the picture...

Geeze, sorry Mike. I guess my old brain isn't what it used to be, I forgot.

 

[Mike Veitch]

Dennis, nIce pics by the way....

Great exposure and lovin the saturation!

Oh and so not to hijack...

Chris, nice super macros!!!

Superb!! The eye is like a pearl. I am particulary impressed that the DOF (which must be limited to a few millimeters) is really well matched to the subject - did it take a lot of attempts?
