Kinder Surprise

Post by Carl_Constantine »

Got a Kinder Surpise in my stocking for Christmas. These little things make great macro subjects.

The second one is the better of the two. A little USM applied to both images to clean them up a titch. These are full frame, no cropping.

Interesting pics, Carl! Stocking-stuffers are great fun. :D

Is it halftone printing that makes the fine pattern I see on the helmet, the hat, and the Saloon sign? If so, then that's a great indication that you're getting good resolution & focus in those areas. What was your lens setup for these?

Yes, You don't really see it until you get up close. I'm going to post a couple more pics of other objects without stickers tomorrow.

This is my 18-55mm with the +4+2+1 close up lenses on it. The focus isn't that great though as you can see by the blurryness in the astronaught image in particular. But, I'm still practicing :-)

I am starting to see a lot of things that would make great macro shots. Keep it Up Carl :smt023

Been trying to think along the same lines as you Carl but so far I am at loss for subjects, I need your imagination. :wink: Great pics! :D

DOF at these magnifications gets very shallow. The fact that you're getting fairly crisp resolution of the half-tone pattern, well away from image center, indicates that your close-up lenses are working OK. Try stopping down some more.

Looking good -- keep it up!
