Pringles macro photo galleries

Posted by Haje Jan Kamps

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.

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?

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!
