Just PM me if you need any help with it.

Damn yesterday I tried to do a macro of a icecube. Hard I say! And it did not went out very well. Haha.

yeah give more hyper macros ...

i think the problem at the icecube is that its original very blurry and have no defined sharp borders

hehe imo taking a pic of mildew would be cool ... just an idea

The problem with icecube is simple. It is to hot! I use two halogen lamps and it is like 25 celcius in the room. xD
I will try that! Thanks.

the last result is so amazing!
make me one!

Haha, he should make a tutorial on how to make one.

Haha. Thanks.



Maybe I should. It is quite easy, you just have to make an extenter. xD

Well I tried to figure your way out but I was too stupid, so I had to make mine another way.

Well. I did not explained it to good, I must admit.
I will make a guide, with lots of details how to build it and how it works.

A little showcase of the new one I made today vs the old one. I made a smaller one because I think the old one did too much close up.

Old vs. new:


The new one with the reversed lens:


Camera mount:


A quick photo from the new one (The first actually), no editing and no stacking:

Oh, ok this is what I had began to do before, I didn't know you just made an extended reverse lens. I like the idea of actually making new lenses with elements from different lenses like I made mine. I will have to try one of these though since the result is much more powerful..

Yours looks nice though, what is the tube?
