Ha ha, I love the first shot...
Posted by Ed { tfk } at November 10, 2005 02:20 AMhi, how much are the macro adapters? where did you buy them?
i've always wanted to try macro photography but i dont have the money to get a decent macro lens.
do you have some tips for me? :)
Thanks in advance. Btw, I added you on my bloglines list so I could always be prompted whenever you upload a new photo :)
Posted by angela joyosa at November 10, 2005 02:36 AMOne of the tings I like best about shooting pictures is to play around with DOF, so these pictures are right up my alley!
Posted by Laurits Hansen at November 10, 2005 03:25 AMvery interesting pictures. I look forward to more with this excellent lense.
Chris Ware is brilliant, Tho he has missed Britain off places in the USA!!
Posted by Vanella Mead at November 10, 2005 04:02 AMGreat series of shots. I received mine yesterday in the mail, but unfortunately haven't tested it out yet. Looking forward to it now, after seeing these shots!
Posted by Ian at November 10, 2005 04:10 AMGood morning. Your photoblog is very great. It is wonderful to see your new entry everyday. How can you find almost everyday an interesting place or composition to show?? Yes you are a very good photographer. People still don't accept u usually don't use software to retouch... But people don't know a lot about photography technics isn't it? ;)
Posted by David Navarrot at November 10, 2005 04:13 AMI like the text on the first picture .)
Posted by bmoll at November 10, 2005 04:14 AMGreat tool! The unsharpness at the outsides makes the sharp part look even sharper.
Posted by Effective Pixels at November 10, 2005 04:24 AMGood lord! These are /great/ :-)
Posted by paddy at November 10, 2005 05:04 AMVery nice ... like all times ... I should get one of those lenses I guess!
Posted by Ali Afghah at November 10, 2005 05:07 AMI like that comment about Canada.
Wonderful detail on the shots!
Posted by Phil at November 10, 2005 06:43 AMHey, it's printed where I live! Awesome.
Posted by joshua at November 10, 2005 07:58 AMOoo, cool. Very nice. I may have to consider getting the macro adapters for my Lensbaby--I'm a sucker for doing macro anyway.
Posted by Otto K. at November 10, 2005 08:28 AMCool ! RocknRoll.. I like the clearness in your Pic ..
Posted by Martin at November 10, 2005 08:44 AMBest price tag ever.
Posted by Dan at November 10, 2005 09:28 AMooooh, nice! I have been coveting a lensbaby of my very own since before the was the 'version i' and 'version ii'.
i bet you'll have fantastic fun with them.
: )
ok, I really like these!!! I'm very good at them.
1 the one on the bottom is in a painter hat.
2 the painter doesn't have bags under his eyes. (but that's because the astronaut shoots porn on the side, so he was up all night. Pun intended)
3 the painter is writing by candle light.
4 the painter is gay
5 the top picture is a newspaper.
How many differences can you find?
Coop.

Posted by frédéric at November 10, 2005 02:22 PMI heard a lot of times that the focusing with macro can be a pain in a**. Maybe because I'm no pro and maybe also because I never had a macro lens I can't understand why, could somebody explain why is it so hard. I mean, you either focus on something or you don't, it's not like you can turn the ring in more than two directions.
Posted by Pavel at November 10, 2005 03:32 PMHi Sam,
I'm a german student and I write my own blog on http://nur-scheuer.de .
I've got a section where I present my favourite blogs and yours was just
added :)
You'll find it on
http://www.nur-scheuer.de/?item=my-favourite-blogs-daily-dose-of-imagery
I'll be very thankful if you visit my blog.
Yours
K-M
PS: I can host big wallpapers of your pictures if you want to. I'm using a big
2560x1024 dual screen and like to use your pictures as wallpapers but they
are too small.
"In the Canadian Wilderness - Until we invade them too. $39.95"
Wow! They sure have a sense of humour.
We'll beat their ass the way we did the last time they tried to invade us. They don't know what we have up our sleeves.
Weird subject matter. But fun. Your new gadgets seem quality. I assume a straight on shot would give edge to edge sharpness and NO barreling?
Posted by Hugh Petrie at November 10, 2005 03:53 PMI got a macro lens a number of months ago and I love it. Just the other weekend I also took some shots out of a book as well and they turned out pretty cool. I find the DOF preview is very handy. Do you use that when composing any of your shots?
Posted by Joe at November 10, 2005 04:49 PMi like it, i love it, i want some more of it!
Posted by Traci at November 10, 2005 05:44 PMWonderful shots. The artwork is lovely as well. Only one point to note. It's probably not cheaper to print it in Singapore. China is where it's cheaper. I should know, I live in Singapore :-)
Posted by pfong at November 10, 2005 09:44 PMHe missed Australia for places in the USA as well!
Our PM sits in Bush's back pocket.
The first one is hilarious! I rather like the effect of the lensbaby.
Posted by Alicia at November 12, 2005 08:40 AMhi... wenyang from SINGAPORE here... nice pics u have here ;D
Posted by neowenyang at November 13, 2005 11:13 AMThis makes me, again, want a lensbaby2. Fantastic shots. Love the macro.
Posted by Abe at November 13, 2005 12:30 PMwow! I need to get his latest book, I love his work
Posted by Hugh at November 13, 2005 12:58 PMI'm shocked and very glad to know at lest one other person who appreciates Chris Ware now :)
