Another bug

[DrEntropy]

Mitsy found it while cleaning a bookshelf and saved it for me. Kinda like a cat presenting a dead mouse...


The rig:

Magic Arm clamped to the column, 90mm Vivitar ∱2.5 with extender.

The result:


1/10th sec. @ ∱8.0, window light.

I thought you were talking about one of these!

Not trying to give you GAS, but it is these times where an articulating screen would be helpful. (Disclosure, my screen is fixed as well.)

Actually, the D7500 has an articulating screen. Just didn't have it open when taking that shot of the "rig". The 7200 is a fixed screen.

Nice, Frank. Thanks! Some impressive work. The things I do here are hardly in that class! Calling it "casual macro" photos. I did do a summer (college) as the replacement for a metallurgical lab's photomicrography photographer, highly polished steel samples for the metallurgists' reports on grain structure of various "heats" (batches) coming out of the furnaces. Interesting for a while, but boring as the summer went on. Did learn a bit about metallurgy tho. Various strengths and grain structures.

Just went thru this thread again. Profuse apologies, Steve. No idea why I attributed to a "Frank". I beg forgiveness!
