Pringles macro photo galleries
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.




























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




Insights, suggestions and comments
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!
