Macro photography

2003-07-02 by Leon Heller

The macro facility on my digital camera (Fuji 2400Zoom) only lets me go down
to 10 cm. I thought I'd experiment with a cheap 14x magnifier held in front
of the lens - it worked quite well, although it was difficult to avoid
camera shake with the two held together. With a more stable mechanical
arrangement it should be quite useful for showing fine detail.

See an example in the Photos area on the Group website, in 'Leon's' album.

I used the low-resolution setting on the camera.

looks funny....
a lot of "tunnel view"

i achieved good results with pointing my webcam into the microscope.
i used it very close to the eyepiece and adjusted focus on camera.
but i modified it to get a greater focus range...


but it is a bad camera so image quality is bad.

maybe this helps.

'Tunnel vision' in English. 8-)

That's the magnifier - it's smaller than the camera lens.

thanks... good to know that...

experiment some more, i got unexpected good results with the 
microscopescope/webcam setup.
but the damn cam has a too poor image quality (low res. and much 
disturbance).

i also tried some field glasses, aimed the webcam through one eyepiece..
worked like the microscope.
i think the camera i have has some "human eye like" characteristics (size, 
focus etc.) thus working that fine on other optics.

A medium quality 600/1200 dpi scanner with transparency option is 
good for film analysis/demonstration.
