RE: I love photography... - Curt - 22-08-2013

What camera do you use Grant?

RE: I love photography... - Grant - 22-08-2013

RE: I love photography... - Curt - 22-08-2013

Ah awesome man! Thats really generous Smile

May just take you up on that! Is it possible to do it with a non adjustable lens, using the settings on the camera alone?

RE: I love photography... - Curt - 22-08-2013

No worries mate Smile.

With the reverse mount or just normal extension tubes, not really. You have to set the aperture on the camera and then remove the lens, so it would be fixed to that whilst shooting. I've got the tubes with the connectors though, so you can still control it Smile.

Looks good David Attenborough Wink. Next it will be naked ladies...move over David Bailey

Seriously a good eye mate [THUMBS UP SIGN]

RE: I love photography... - Danny2009 - 30-08-2013

I'd love a decent camera that would take shots like these, no good having the tools if you don't know how to use them though!

Epic pictures mate

RE: I love photography... - Curt - 30-08-2013

Cheers guys Smile. Currently getting the bits together for making a macro rig, as I can't afford a proper one...

If it interests you, start out by picking up a bridge camera. They can be had cheap and still give you options to play with, without too much outlay Smile.

RE: I love photography... - Just Sean - 31-08-2013

I have a bridge but I ain't a clue how to use it properly!! 'Auto' ftw!

RE: I love photography... - Matt - 31-08-2013

Haha ^^ this

RE: I love photography... - Curt - 31-08-2013

Well then, have a play with the settings and get it off of auto Sean!

You too Mr Bush, stop being lazy Tongue.



I've just been and bought some alu strip, so now just got to wait for a few (read: a lot) of deliveries.

RE: I love photography... - Danny2009 - 31-08-2013

I usually use my iPhone as i always have it, I've got a Sony cyber shot point and shoot type of thing but would like something with a bit more to play with

Is there any bridge cameras you would recommend?

RE: I love photography... - Curt - 31-08-2013

You can't beat a decent camera, doesn't compare to a phone! I had a Panasonic Lumix FZ8 years ago which was great, I think Matt bought the next model from my recommendation and likes it.

You can also pick up an entry level DSLR for not much money at all. Something like a D3100, think they're about £300 new with kit lens. My old Olympus E-510 was a lot of camera for the money.

RE: I love photography... - Chris_90 - 31-08-2013

Epic pictures would love go get in to it, think I may look in to cameras all though I have no idea what I'm looking at lol

RE: I love photography... - Curt - 31-08-2013

Well I can do my best to help, I don't pretend to know what I'm doing or talking about though lol

It all depends on what you want to do and how much you'll use it IMO. But if you're interested, a bridge camera like I've already mentioned is a cheap, easy and portable option to get started.

How much would I be looking at for a bridge camera? Can you recommend one? No idea what it would cost tbh just something I always fancied giveing ago.

RE: I love photography... - Curt - 31-08-2013

Depends what one you go for... You can pick up an older one for pennies now. See post above for my recommendation, there are plenty of other good options but I haven't had first hand experience with them. My mum has a 30x optical zoom Fuji one which was around £140 I believe, when I bought it for last Christmas. My Lumix cost £100 years ago and I sold it this year for like £40.

RE: I love photography... - Jake - 01-09-2013

Very impressed man... Nice work.

RE: I love photography... - Curt - 01-09-2013

Cheers Jake Smile

RE: I love photography... - Curt - 01-09-2013

RE: I love photography... - Curt - 02-09-2013

The ones above weren't with the reversed lens no, they were with extension tubes and 55-300mm. I want to play some more with the reverse mount though...

Cheers Smile. Haha, nice try...
