I don’t know this cat, but he he just snuck up on me while waiting for a bus. He was on the job hunting birds or field mice I presume. I fine cat.

A couple of months ago, with the help of DeMasse I built a macro tube based on the idea from Photocritic this was fun little project. Photocritic laid out the idea for using a Pringle’s can, but I figured polyvinyl chloride tubing would work much better, and reverse mounted Yashica ML f1.9-f16 50mm lens. I suppose I could upgrade to a Zeiss lens, which would be awesome.. I suppose I could use my 90mm Leica M lens. I’ll work on that.

Note the white PVC on the end, with this I could increase magnification by extending the length of the lens barrel. This little do it yourself is fun. Now however I realized I need to purchase a Macro-Focusing Rail Set. It’s about $200 for one, some hopefully by the end of the summer, I will save some coin for that..None of the images below are cropped these are full images from my EOS 40D.

Another classic bbq at Drake and Sherri’s place. It poured rain for hours on end.. We stuck it out and had a great time.. While still in the daylight I shot a roll of film with my trusty Kodak Duaflex II. Pictures are not pretty, but they are cool.
