jp, it sure was. In fact, I have a funny picture that references that...I'll post later.
Steve, interesting to think of such images as "common."
HAL 9000 meets WALL-E
Not my best - should've gotten closer! I was only about 3 feet away but there was lots of folks trying to take photos of the fully-articulated robotic WALL-E creation and so I just guessed w/o looking through my viewfinder. Always have to be closer with this lens...

Ken, I just bought a brand new USA made wood clamp, but not for wood, it will hold glass to clean for emulsion coating...after I mod it with router
Now I know what it will look like in a few hundred years!
so little time...

Really nice Ken. What lens and film combo are you using?

Thank you Steve.Originally Posted by scheinfluger_77
I used a Sony A7RII and a 55mm Micro-Nikkor f/2.8 lens with a short extension tube.
At 1:1 magnification, depth of field is very shallow. The image was made from 54 separate exposures (each at a slightly different point of focus), combined afterwards using Helicon Focus software.
On a "full-frame" digital sensor cropped to the 4x5 ratio, a 55mm lens gives the same basic angle of view as a classic 9-inch portrait lens on 4x5: my favorite
If image quality it not a major priority, you can get fish eye lenses that clip on your cell phone camera for $10-30. Sorta like a clothes pin with a lens on it. Lots of fun. Better than lomo quality. A wide angle lens made for crop sensor used on a full frame digital camera might also have a round image, like the old 12-24 AFS dx lens on a fx camera.
Terrific texture, Ken!

One of the things I enjoy about Winter is that you can take the time to sit in a chair and shoot a subject like this, exploring different compositions and approaches.
It reminds me of my first excursion with Fred: we went shooting in a cemetery, where he showed me how moving the tripod just a few inches changes the image dramatically. Here, it's a matter of millimeters.
