Yo, noticed the softness around the subjects.
I'm guessing your using some CU filters.
To lessen the softness, try using the smallest aperture, F8, and bounce your external flash.
For the grains shot.. nice concept :thumbsup:
Instead of max zoom and working from 20+cm, might want to try working from 5-6cm, and using only 1-3x zoom, or no zoom at all. The results are alot sharper and showing more details from the grain textures.
Oh, yar.. can cheat by cropping away the soft areas too.. hehehe..

some of the pics i used olympus tcon17 plus hoya +4 close filter. my hands are not steady enuff for a clear crisp shot. (didnt upload pics)
some are two +4 filters stacked on top of one another
all taken with ext flash with home made bouce card

I see... no wonder bro, I tried the TCON+CU b4 too... but noticed that the TCON glass quality not good.
Stacking 2 CU will give super soft focus outside of hte centre part.
So far from pics taken by ChuanYe, seems the sharpest/cleanest.
He is using a Nikon 6T+Sigma CU with flash+15cm bounce card.
Happy trying out! :thumbsup:
guess gotta practise more wit close up filters first......
how much is a nikon 6t 55mm anyway?
anyone knows rough price?

It's actually kind of refreshing looking at macros of stuff apart from insects and nature. Thanks for sharing!

Hi guys...
This is my poor first attempt to shoot the Dark Side lencap with a Dark Side 6T filter on. Got no external flash now... so have to fire the internal flash, pretty harsh.
I got around 30cm of working distance, manual focus and no tripod. I think the shot is quite lousily done, but just show for fun. I did crop off the top and bottom and a bit of the sides, the sides are out of focus... Look at the fringing due to the harshness of the internal flash.
The full resolution picture can be found in the link below

Erm i forgot... but the focal length was 58mm... any one wans to do a conversion for the digital to analogue and hence determine the zoom...
I don't thing i zoom all the way... heee... cos i wan to get the nikon in the whole picture bah...
Wah... Somebody got 6T already ah? I'm just waiting for my phayee adapter. Once it's in I'll be joining you soon enough. Small is beautiful... ;p
Are you gonna get anymore CU filters?
