Macro Effects (dial up warning)

I dug up the ole macro bass thread in the basses sub forum, and thought I'd check to see if there was one in the FX forum. Also inspired by these.

Please Please Please, share some Macro Effects with TalkBass.

 

Bump. Looking for cool pix or to inspire the macro fiends to bust out their cameras and click off a few closeups of their pedals.

 

I like the last one burgermeister. Did you set up a tripod?

I'm just using a point & shoot on my shots (Nikon Coolpix S210) set to macro (the little flower setting) on a cheap tripod. The camera has exposure compensation settings that I noodled with. A bunch turned out of focus nut no complaints. As for lighting it is just incandescent lightbulbs from a small overhead "chandelier".

I know some of the guys in the basses subforum have macro lens on digital SLR's. I was hoping some of them would come along.

 

Negatives are sweet Mr. Strange....Thanks!!!

 

I'm pretty sure on the ones I took that are pretty close and in focus; I had the camera set far away and the zoom; including digital, maxed. At such settings a tripod is pretty necessary or else you wind up with blurry pics due to slow shutter speeds. Natural lighting can help. If weather permits you may have better luck outside.

I worked at a camera shop for a while when digital was first coming out, so I have a basic knowledge of 35mm P&S and SLR. Digital is not that different when it comes to camera functions. The limitations of P&S are lifting a bit with digital, but there is definitely more you can do with an SLR and a decent collection of lenses.

Looking forward to the new shots.

Edit: Just saw you are from LA....I'm pretty sure weather permits....

 

Nice; Joe From Colorado. The swirls are trippy; is that a Polish Love?

EDIT: Forgot to give props to S.M.B. for his vivid tuner pics. I can make out your reflection in the foot switch.
