click through to the lightbox, it's worth the trip to see these on a black background.

One thing about photographing bees - they are never standing still!

I dunno. I am still trying to understand just how an 84 year old f/6.3 112mm Anastigmat lens is creating these shots. Not complaining in the meanwhile though.

I certainly draw a little attention to myself when I unfurl the bellows & go diving into a bee covered flower patch. Heh. Had a nice conversation with a park ranger just yesterday.

hey glass certainly did not get much better over the years. Sensors are BS, glass is everything.

Do you have a shot of this rig?

...bringing back the low-tech, use what you have mentality.

The shoe on top of the grip will soon house a home-built ring flash.

This project was a step one proof of concept type thing for a large scanner camera I am building next. I have an hp slate set aside for that one. Need to switch over to linux and procure the scanner.

It's all experimental & groovy.

I love the rig my man. So you are using the lens and bellows from an old cam and a digital cam of the back? Are you sighting the normal lens of the digicam through the old lens?

Yes, I think the effect is similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-macro-be ... lows+canon

The old lens has mechanical settings, so I have additional funk manipulation options there.
