A member of the Syracuse Photographer Association lines up a macro shot of a flower during the meetup at SUNY College of Environmental Science & Forestry in Syracuse, New York.
This shows a member of the Syracuse Photographer Association at SUNY College of Environmental Science & Forestry in one of the Illick Hall Greenhouses getting ready to photograph a flower. Notice the use of a set of extension tubes before the zoom lens to create a close up photo of stunning clarity. Click here to see the result.
Now that you see how glamorous Close Up Photography can be, join in on the assignment this month (click the link).

I would like to see the image at 16×20. I like the expression of concentration you captured. Shooting flower macros is one of the few things that relax me. Although not outwardly fidgety (well, not too fidgety), my mind is a very restless place.

That can be arranged. I’ll give it to you at cost plus a small markup. 😀

Nice portrait, although I think you focused more on the lens than the photographer.
I like to get the photographers in action, too.

In this photo, the lens was the subject. I was already planning my photos for the Close Up assignment announcement that day. While this photo did not make it in that post, I wanted to use it this week.

Scott, I see all those little red dots on his lens, how many extension tubes did he use?

Looks like he used a full set of them (3). I explain and show the stacking of them on the Close Up Photography 101 article I posted today.
