A huge thanks to my Patreon Supporters - check out my website's homepage (www.allanwalls...) to see the names of the great people who will soon be your new best friends (after you become a patron - wink, wink).
Talking about patronage - why don't you check out my Patreon page at / allanwallsphotography
Just think about how good you are going to feel after joining my army of supporters (How many people are in a platoon? That might be better choice of words).
Thanks again to Graham Carey and Spence Barton - for keeping me honest
Following up on our recent video, in which we looked at the various ways in which infinity corrected microscope objectives could be used for macro photography, we now take a close look at many of the problems that can be anticipated at higher magnifications. In addition to identifying and describing many of the most prevalent issues, we also explain and demonstrate how each of these problems can be addressed.
If you are frustrated by all the issues that only seem to get worse with increasing magnification, then this video is for you. The specific areas we cover include aiming, focus, composition, common lighting issues, vibration, software limitations, technical focus rail difficulties, and the image-ruining impact of internal reflections (to name a few).
In this video I reference the work of Robert O'Toole - his superb tube lens and microscope objective testing data, and much more cool stuff, can be found on his website (www.closeuphot...) - I highly recommend you visit his site.
Many of the issues discussed in this video received a fairly condensed treatment and will get a great deal more in-depth attention in upcoming videos. A few of these subjects that already have videos in the works include:
Slabbing with Zerene Stacker;
Experimenting with optics;
DIY laser aiming device;
A novel way to get more out of your manual focus rail; and
several more.
Thanks for watching, liking, and subscribing - you guys are the greatest!
