macro fun

[Gottalovethexi]

So just sitting at my comp, looking at my water bottle, and checking out how crazy the sweat on the bottle looked. What better chance to use my macro lens :eyebrows

Sony a100 50/2.8 macro (~1:1) :eek

ISO was set to 800 for these because I don't gots a tripods up here at school. I leave that in the car which is back at home. So forgive the graininess

Someone care to explain why the range of focus is so short?

[Ficarra]

Sweet, I love me some macro.

let's take the last three images...

the first of the last three, im shooting not straight at the bottle, nor straight at my subject. im at f/2.8, but i wish i knew what "focal" length i was at (i hesitate to use focal because its a nifty 50 macro, but it provides a magnification scale of 1:1, so i dunno, i don't really know the answer but the dof is extremely small when it gets to the 1:1 scale and id say for the very last image, the dof is about 4mm worth of depth. if i aimed more straight at the bottle, it'd give it a less drastic dof. know what i mean? and sorry for the lack of periods used in this message lol
