-=-=-=- The Macro (closeup) Photo Thread !!!

jtice · Aug 23, 2003

A post by moedank in the Arc forum of a macro shot of 2 LSH-P's reminded me that I wanted to start a Macro thread here.
Everyone post some of your best Marco (closeup) Photos here.
They can be of anything, doesnt have to be lights.

Note: Please do not post the pics directly in the thread, link or thumbnail them. Thanks.

I will get us started with a few I took.

I'll try to take some others later.
Any request? I like a challenge. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Look at this and let me know if you see what I think I see in it-

(uploadit.org gone the way of the dodo)

What, haven't you noticed Lincoln before? Or are you talking about the figures in the balustrades? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

hey...Wingerr,

At first i saw Abe Lincoln. I showed the picture and a real penny to my brother and asked him,

"Hey! Did you know that the penny has a miniature Abe Lincoln in the back?"

Brother: "YEA! You didn't know? But doesn' that look like Abe turned around with his *** pointed at you?"

Me: "Oh...What the....this must be what Wingerr is talkin' about."

Wingerr, is that what you see? Abe Lincoln's butt?

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowlaugh.gif Those are his knees. You need a newer penny, Wingerr.

Re: _^..^_ The Macro (closeup) Photo Thread !!!

OK, here's one that's not too good, but was at least
technically difficult.

This is a shot of a lit filimant in a flashlight bulb. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

(click to enlarge)

Here's another. This is a shot of a rare LL123
(forerunner of the FireFly by Doug Speck) by Larry
(tvodrd). This light is the same diameter as a CMG
Infinity, but considerably shorter. It has a Luxeon
run at 350MA from a single CR123 and modified NX05
optics.

http://users2.ev1.net/~wesiddiquis/cpfmacro/

none of them are newer than about a year i should add, some a few years old. named images were scanned from print on flatbed (Boohooo), IMG* are digicam. etc etc. hope you like them, maybe this will push me to do more macro /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: _^..^_ The Macro (closeup) Photo Thread !!!

Taken with a modified CCTV cam, here`s mine:

Knurling of the 2002 CPF-Edition Arc AAA
1 watt blue Luxeon LED with bubbles in it
The filament of a SureFire MN03 lamp
Unusual diamond-shaped die inside an old 1970s green LED
Die cup of a white Nichia LED
The arc-gap of the Solarc bulb in a Light Cannon 100
Die inside an early (and I mean early - this was taken over 2 years ago) High dome Luxeon LED
Tiny button cell powered blinky LED thingy

And some from the 717, though I don`t yet have a macro lens for it so I`m somewhat limited:

SureFire A2 lit up with both LEDs and main lamp on
Arc AAA Premium head up close
Brass Arc-AAA, warts-n-all
Pifco Super-beam reflector, made in the 60s
Pile of LEDs old and new

Some nice photos above guys!

For some reason (no doubt talent and skill related) NONE of the flashlight photos I have tried even come up to the level of mediocre. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

This photo of an ancient Roman coin: Roman Imperial bronze "AE Folis" coin of the Emperor Maximianus (286-305 A.D.). The coin is about 30mm in its widest dimension.
is probably my best digital macro.

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Yup! I was wondering if I was the only one that saw that in there- looks like a butt nekkid guy standing at a urinal doing his business-
I know, it's supposed to be Honest Abe seated, but them's knobby knees, thar! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Good Rorschach test, maybe?? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

iddibhai · Aug 23, 2003
