Thanks.
I use a variety of lenses/add ons/tricks for macro shots and almost never write down my settings and/or equipment for each shot anymore. I'm too busy playing. Having said that, I do remember how I got a some of them.
For example, on this one I used a Sigma 105mm macro lens with (probably) a small extension tube behind it, double flashes mounted on rails to be focused about 1/2" in front of the lens filter (that's how close I was to this guy's face).
This is actually a composite of 2 or 3 images due to the serious lack of depth of field when shooting macro. The shots were taken as fast as my flash would re-charge using tiny adjustments in focus.
The reason he didn't move is that I was out at the crack of dawn on an extremely cold morning and he literally couldn't move yet.
FWIW: I used an old
3 megapixel camera for this (Canon 30D).
