Fun With MACRO

[Kaz]

One month with my DVX and I CAN'T STOP SHOOTING ****! I don't care what it is...A trashcan, the old lady across the street, my cat taking a dump in his litterbox...

It's two weeks until my first commercial (for a jewelry store), three weeks until my first short and I still don't have any lighting equip. (on it's way, though).  Anyway, I decided to do some macro tests since I'll be doing CUs on diamond rings and I learned something - I love shooting with macro!

Great I love them very much. And you are correct. Does not matter what it is just shoot it.

Macro can be done with the leica dicomar lens that COMES WITH THE CAMERA?

Yes, you just have to be in the lower half of the zoom range (the wide-angle part). The wider you are, the closer you can get. On full wide angle you can get down to the surface of the lens.

Wow that's crazy.  I love macro stuff as well.  I also love Ghost in the Shell, and I have that same figure.  Everyone should give it a watch.  The Wachowski bros credited it as part of their inspiration for the Matrix.

Re: Fun With MACRO

Squeezed. Still undecided on the anamorphic until I can test it.

Re: Fun With MACRO

gotcha, these images look pretty good for having been stretched to the size they are at.
