Hello everybody, Here are a couple of shots from the macro-photography assignment. I shot another that was intended to look like a crime scene from the television show CSI Miami (complete with brownish warm tone) and another shot of a wood spider that is probably not the best thing for anyone who is arachnaphobic... (Personally, I think the spider was far more afraid of the big creature with the camera looming in on it, however)
I shot these with a Panasonic Lumix. But I really want to now try some stuff with an ancient,
manual focus (and metered) Nikkor 55mm Micro lens and Pk-3 extender! Hopefully I can crank out some shots with that bad-boy!

I like your selections, nice shots.
This week, I strictly stuck with florals. I see your creativity here in your choices. You have a very good eye, great talent, and you put a lot of thought behind each picture you take. I love the simplicity of the lock and keys. Great idea!
I picked a few of my personal favorites and wrote comments about your pictures on fotothing. Talk about macro! Great job on all the photos, especially the fly caught in the spider's web.
I must agree with the two comments above.. Who would have thought a set of keys and a lock would be so interesting. You've opened up a new eye for me. I am starting to see objects in a different view. Great work Chuck..
Thanks, I tried using the Nikkor MICRO lens on the D-90 and it did not function. I am guessing that this is an old F-bayonette lens with manual everything, and Nikon's new G-mount ring with electronic matrixed everything just wont acknowledge it... Oh well. Too bad - this thing lets you get close enough to those keys to count the grinder's marks! I could have re-shot that spider by looking her in the eyes (all eight of them...)

Good job on the photos, I especially like the needle & thread and the b&w bullet casing!
I have an old DCS 460... the Kodak 6 mp digital back that attaches to a Nikon N90s... i have the 55mm macro and an extender ring... I found that putting it in manual and exposing it around ISO 6 using an outboard meter worked pretty well for me... the close ups of the sunflower I posted to fotothing were done that way....
Nice work, btw.
