| 説明 | This is the kit I use for almost all my outside macro shots. I use the same Canon PowerShot SX40 HS camera for photographing birds without the Raynox and flash. It really is a Swiss-Army knife of cameras, giving an equivalent of a 640 mm telephoto for the birds then, with the few extras, focussing down on the tiny features of a fly! The Raynox I use outside is almost always the DCR-150. I own a DCR-250 but it is a harder to get a good focus than the 150 which is close enough for almost all the subjects I find in the garden. The flash was an eBay previously-owned bargain Canon 270EX II which I use in Manual mode set to a max of 1/8 and usually less (adjusted by trial and error). The Pringles tube "snoot" is simply the tube with a slot cut at one end for the flash and cut obliquely across at the other end to direct the light diffused through a piece of kitchen roll onto the subject. Gaffer tape holds the kitchen tissue paper in place and is also stuck around the edges of the cut slot so it doesn't scratch the flash gun. The Pringles tube is held in place with an elastic band. I have settled down to using manual settings of f/8 and a high shutter speed which gets slowed to 1/250 with the flash, though the flash is much quicker than that and is effective at freezing a lot of wobble. Behind the camera in the photo you can see the small clump of Apple Mint which has been a very effective attractor of flies, wasps and bugs this year. |
