[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'm about to head on down to a local photo store and pick up a cheap BR-2A reversal ring for my Nikon gear. I'll reverse a 50 or my 45/2.8 AI-P and stop down for a bit of DOF (still not much, I read). Focusing is supposed to be futzy, but I'm in no real hurry. I'm really as much interested in experimenting with lighting, and am planning to try shooting a couple of AB800 strobes through a white sheet to make for a large diffusion pannel. The project shaping up in my head is, don't laugh, to shoot a bunch of closeup shots of feminine hygeine products, maybe all nestled in black velvet. LOL. Another project on the theme of "beautiful photos of ugly things." My POMO (post modern) fine art shooter buddy up in NYC has given his blessing on the project, so what the hell! Won't be Leica shots, but if anything comes of it, I'll post the pics.
