About

I’ve been interested in macro photography for about 15 years going back to the film days. Without the instant feedback that digital photography affords, film macro photography proved difficult, frustrating, and expensive. After purchasing my first DSLR, I stumbled upon the work of a few other macro photographers on the web and became obsessed with how they captured these images. After a great deal of reading and experimenting, I realized that there is no single best way to take these pictures. I’ve ended up using variety of techniques for taking my photos. Macro lenses, reversed lenses, extension tubes, and reversed coupled lenses are the main methods that I employ. So far, a cheap 50mm lens along with extension tubes have yielded the best results. If someone at Nikon is listening, it would be really nice to have a lens equivalent to the Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens.

During the spring and summer of 2009, I took approximately 8000 photos. I’m displaying the best photos from that time period and beyond on this site. I’ve ordered a bee hive which I anticipate setting up on my property in the Spring of 2010. I’m looking forward to posting information, videos, and photos about my experience as a first time bee keeper.
