Macro Monochrome Monday

@keithboone · 2018-12-04 02:24 · monochromemonday

Here are some new macro shots for #MonochromeMonday, created by @old-guy-photos. See all the #MonochromeMonday posts here. I've been playing with a Nikon 105mm macro lens on my Olympus EM5 MKii and I think it's working better on the M43 camera than it did on my Nikon!

Olympus EM5 Mk ii, Nikon 105mm lens, 20mm Kenko adapter, f/2.8, 1/200s ISO250 qzs8l96he0.jpg

One of the problems with using lenses on an adapter is that the EXIF data is not completely recorded. The camera does not see the lens. All the shots in this post have the same EXIF as I listed above, although the shutter speed may have varied from one shot to the next. I left the aperture wide open at f/2.8 for all shots.

I'm giving you the colour version along with the monochrome just because why not? :)

I never know what these things are called... people have told me in the past, I just don't remember things like that.

Some kind of little berry. All these things are pretty small.

Last one. This was made from three separate images, stacked.

The 105mm lens on a M43 camera becomes effectively a 210mm - this is because of the 2x crop factor. The crop factor also applies to depth of field which is also doubled... so I can shoot at f/2.8 with the DOF you would expect from shooting at f/5.6.

I hope you enjoyed these shots, thanks for taking a look! Click to view full-screen. Have a great week my friends!
