Captains log: 14 April 2020 - in the year of covid19 Lockdown
I am preparing for some macro photography ( or should i rather say micro photography) as well as the new season for Milky Way photography here in the northern hemisphere. 2 extremes.
i have done a few elementary Milky way shots and are exploring the finer techniques of stacking multiple shots ~ 400 or so to get very sharp images just using my std camera with a optical filter to cut the light pollution from the cities. Maybe the Nebula bug will bite me and then i need to go over to Telescope equipment.
For the macro’s during this lockdown period i want to experiment with a specific style that i have not seen before, just to give a different perspective of things. I will try the traditional insects and flowers but that is to common. Im exploring some ways to shoot micro mechanics and microarchitecture
Getting low cost extension tubes this week to kick off the exploration
Signing off till next time
