Nice pics folks. Love the fly ChillerThriller. That wouldn't be Googled would it? It's very impressive!

I posted a quick pic in Wake N bake, but wanted to put more here.
We picked this up a few nights back. Local and very nice. Big, dense buds. Extremely smooth :

You must have a nice little set-up there??

 

[caddyluck]

75 micron

Rather not. Here's my Mac setup:

At the end is a 50mm f/1.8 nikkor attached to a 52mm -52mm macro adapter ring with male threads on both ends. The other end of the adaptor is attached to an older 105mm f/2.8 micro-nikkor in such a manner that the 50mm is reverse-mounted on the front end of the 105mm. The 105mm sit on top of a nikon TC-200 teleconverter and the rest as they say is history.

Shooting requires rock solid stability to avoid mirror-slap or even ambient vibrations from rendering out of focus shots. In all fairness most of the shots taken before this post were taken with the camera sitting on the table you see here which has a granite slab sitting on top. The Bogen 3021 tripod is my newest addition and it will be interesting to see if it provides as sharp rendering as sitting on granite.

Camera set-up is completely manual since the TC-200 does not transmit lens information to the camera. Nikon does not make a teleconverter that does except specialized ones for specialized lenses costing thousands. The learning curve is short thanks to the instant feedback of digital photography: literally shoot till you get it right. Got to love it.

I find the Nikon SB-600 speed light in commander mode a necessity in order to get light to the subject in this kind of set up.

Bug Juice anyone?

 

[420weedman]

please ... no

 

[Seamaiden]

Chiller, that's a neat set-up you got going on the camera there. Hell of a lot cleaner, and better photos, than just flipping the lens around and holding it by hand.
