Macro - rubber on your lens

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Macro - rubber on your lens

Further play with bellows. Once I took this photo I realise that there is still some left over after shooting plants. And I naive thought my lens is clean, I even brushed it before the shot ;-)

Mitedo,

I cannot give you any photos of setup since my camera is the only one I have got, but:

1. D70 + Nikon PB-6 Bellows + Nikon 50/1.8
2. Table lamp
3. Slice of bread

All that sitting on a table.

Bellows:

1. Better magnification and support. But not possible to extend magnification just just, since camera is mount rather far away from body
2. Heavier, more stable, but also less convenient for carrying
3. More expensive

Tubes:

1. Less magnification
2. More sensible for bending in larger setup = larger magnification
3. Lighter, easier to carry
4. Cheaper

I guess your choice depends on what you want to photograph.

Here are other examples with bellows, if you havent seen that:
