What do you use to take macros?
I use lots of different ways to take my macros.
1. My Tamron 180mm f/3.5 macro lens. It's your standard macro lens, good for taking pictures of insects that you don't want or can't get close to. The main benefit of this lens is that the working distance is pretty far, so you have less of a chance of disturbing what you're trying to photography. It also doubles as a really really sharp medium telephoto.
2. Reverse Sigma 10-20mm. This is what allows me to get really really close. The pictures in my super macro gallery were taken with this setup. It's basically a wide-angle lens mounted backwards via a special (but cheap) adapter. The working distance is only about an inch or less, but it gets REALLY close.
3. Extension tubes. My lightweight emergency macro setup is my Canon 50mm f/1.8 with 50mm of extension tubes. Working distance is in between the reversed setup and the Tamron 180mm. The advantage to this is that the setup is cheap, highly portable, very light, and still produces great results.
4. Tamron 180mm + a reversed 30mm or 50mm lens mounted on the end. My least favorite because I've never gotten good sharp results from this setup. Large, expensive, and bulky. There are people however who use this setup and produce absolutely stunning results, namely Jody Melanson on the forums at www.FredMiranda.com Jody is more or less a macro GOD, along with Tom Hicks. Every time I see their photos I'm reminded of just how far down the ladder I am
I also use a flash with an off-camera cord that allows the flash to be connected to the camera by just a cord, meaning it's highly mobile and I can point the flash in any direction I desire.

Fuzzy, can I ask how you got the blue effect in your blue streaks photo? Also, did you use a filter to get the light sources to show up as stars? Your picture album is fantastic.. I really like the clean look (across the board) of all your shots!

Hehe, when I first joined ATOT my first thread was something like "OMG I <3 U ALL!!!" and I replied with "<3 [membername]" for everyone who replied to the thread and I used a lot of smilies. The thread went on for a couple of pages or so and people started PMing the mods because they suspected that I was someone banned who was coming back under a different name. Their evidence was that I knew fusetalk a little too well because I used smilies. So that same day the thread got deleted, I got banned, and my username got deleted.
I emailed a mod and was like " " and they said I could reregister

To get the blue effect, set the color temperature of the picture to something cooler, like 1500K and tweak the tint until you get the desire color. You can do this in practically all RAW editors, including the one that's built into Photoshop.
If you're using a JPEG, which I don't recommend, you can do almost the same thing using Image > Adjustments > Photo Filter and use a cooling filter.
As for the starbursts, the secret to them is to stop down your lens to around f/8. When it's stopped down to that area, all point light sources become starbursts.
Thanks!
