Pringles macro photo galleries

previous article: next article:

Hi everyone!

I recently stumbled across Professor Bikey Bike’s white peppercorn photo (and his other explorations into macro, taken with the Pringles macro extension tubes, featured here on Photocritic a couple of months ago.

The big question – I had a great time building that lens and creating the tutorial for it – but who else built one? And do you have your galleries on the internet? If you have, why not leave a comment here? In a couple of weeks, I’d love to run a story featuring some of the best Pringles can photos available on the internet.

Money made from this advert will be invested in prime lenses.
This post, "Pringles macro photo galleries", is part of these categories: All articles, was posted by Haje Jan Kamps and saw the light of day on the 5th of February 2006. I hope you liked it.

Here are some pictures I made with my EOS 300D and an old 50mm lens borrowed from school: http://flickr.com/photos/wolever/search/tags:macro/

I’ve placed most photos on professorbikeybike.com, on flickr using “pringles macro”for the tag–as of now, nobody else has picked up on that tag, but it would be cool if they did…

I finally had some success with your pringles lens this morning, the convenient blizzard rendered some interesting material

I wonder if it would be possible to make this work for a video camera?

Very cool Chiba!
Was it just me, or were the exposures really dark? I found that, with my 300D and 50mm lens, the exposure had to be a couple seconds or longer. Granted, it is inside, but does that get better? Is it just me?

Excellent site, added to favorites!! Respect you!

So, the 550D and the 50D cost practically the same, and have different advantages. Which one would you buy?

Macro Photography Photo Workshop

Macro Photography Photo Workshop by Haje Jan Kamps My day job, if it can be called that, is being a writer. I've got one book out there so far and it's awesome, so go ahead and buy a copy! It's available from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, and most decent-sized bookshops, too!

To find out more, check out this post! If you want to know more about the 'being a writer' thing, check this site out.

Put another dime in the jukebox

Put another dime in the jukebox In front of you, five hyperactive men with guitars, drums, and microphones. Behind you, five thousand fans. In your hands, a camera... You're going to need more than just a little bit of good luck to pull this one off. That's where this book comes in.

With nearly a hundred fantastic gig photos, and a ton of info about how to get involved in taking photos like this yourself, you can't go wrong. Buy this book. Grab your camera. Good luck.

Street Photography: London

Street Photography: London Take a Canon EOS 450D. Attach a Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens. Hit the streets of London. See what happens.

Sounds simple - but the results are anything but. Moving, intense, and personal, Street Photography: London is a great collection of the people of London, their passions, and their dreams. Look for yourself!

About

This site is all about learning more about photography, from the incredibly insightful (rarely) to the dreadfully mundane (also, hopefully rarely) via just about everything in between.

If this website seems a little whimsical and random, then that's because the author of this blog, who for the occasion is confusing himself by writing about himself in the third person, is slightly whimsical and random himself.

Enjoy!
