Super-Macro at the Flower Gardens
July 22nd, 2005 by James
Last weekend I took a short trip to the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary to fine-tune my macro photography and equipment for an upcoming trip to Bali. Bali is a macro and muck-diving heaven, so I want to make sure I have all our equipment ready. I also wanted to test out my neutral-buoyancy ring that I fabricated for my Seacam housing.
I shot the Sigma 150mm macro lens with a Canon 500D diopter. At close focus, this setup provides roughly 2:1 magnification. Here are a few of my favorite photos:
And here’s a photo of me and my camera setup, taken by Dennis Fanning:
