Hello everyone,
I want to introduce myself on this forum.
My name is Berry and i live in the east part of the Netherlands.
Macrophotography and entomology are my great hobby's.
Since a year i did read very much on this forum. Now it is the time to join i think.
My equipment for macrophotography is a Canon 40D and a Canon 50D with a 180mm / F3,5 Sigma objective with a 36 mm extension ring.
I have also a MPE-65 from Canon which is my favourite.
This camera is standing on an old (25 years) but very strong Slik Grand Master tripod with a Manfrotto 454 slider.
At this moment i am working at an automated slider with a stepper motor. The engineering was done by myself.
I hope to get it 100% working in a few weeks. Later i will post images from this project and the results.
Hope to see you one the forum.
Best regards, Berry

Hello back at you Berry! "groeten!"
I grew up in Groningen and one half of my family originates in Drenthe (East Netherlands), so small world. Looking forward to your project, this is a great place for tinkerers and 'enginers'!
