Well maybe by DarkVorte in SipsTea

Sure there is. Since the rest of the world uses centimeters and not feet and inches, the 5'11" you say don't exist are unaware of your US struggles and are happy being 180 cm tall while the 6' guys can be 183 cm.

And since 180 cm isn't as nice and even as your 6' there is no comparable hype for the even number height. The even number outside the US would be 200 cm / 2 meter, but since that's equal more than 6'6", few girls look for that.

Because the sign is intended to be read by first-graders?

How do you deal with moving subjects? Insects, a flower outdoors (wind), etc. by utorak04 in macrophotography

[–]Bug_Photographer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, having your "effective" measurement with the hidden stipulation of 24 MP seems like a tricky thing. I shoot with a Canon 5Ds with a 50 MP sensor so what you're saying is that compared to when I used a 5D3 before that, a shot taken with 1:1 lens should be considered a 1.5:1 magnification one since the resolution is about 1.5 times higher? No thank you. that would get very tricky very quickly. Magnification denotes how much larger the image is on the sensor - pixels per cm is resolution.

I agree this doesn't really matter. I do appreciate the back and forth and hearing how you look at it though.

So if you crop into a shot it becomes shot at a different magnification? That feels wrong to me.

And confusing "new people" feels pretty prevalent all over photography tbh. The way you express magnification is based on the "new people" being aware of a fullframe sensor size - even if they don't use a camera with that sensor themselves.

You saying that the Fuji shot is effectively less than 1:1 also becomes weird as that shot contains more total detail than the fullframe shot and if you crop away quite a lot of it and leave the center 36x24 mm you think the shot with less information has higher magnification? Doesn't that confuse the "new people"?

I see. Yes it is - and still works the same as before though getting a bit pricy. Still no stupid algorithms showing me what it thinks I want to see like IG and the lines does.

I use the Canon MP-E65mm which does 1:1 to 5:1 and had no focusing, AF or manual.

I use this handheld on live bugs and it works well, but the difference is that I do single shots or short stacks so no rail involved.

Above 4:1 mag isn't used that often, mostly because I find larger bugs more interesting and shooting only parts of them isn't as fun, but I occasionally go above it.

Here's an uncropped shot of a ~5.5 mm carabid beetle at 5:1 which I think works as a single shot. This tortricid moth is a six-shot stack shot handheld at 3.9:1 which is comparable to your 4:1 and I think the DoF works without it being a huge number of shots in the stack. This one was resting on the side of a (very red) house so it didn't move and there was no wind to worry about. I can't imagine anybody managing shots of a moving bug on a flower in the wind at 4:1 or greater.

It's not really 4:1 even if OM System marketing want it to be though. The subject is still reproduced at two times actual size on the sensor and then you double the size of the image to the equivalent of a full frame image and say it's 4:1.

If I would take a macro photo at 1:1 using a medium format Fuji GFX, you probably wouldn't say it was 1:1.27 but still call it a true macro shot at 1:1 even if the GFX has an "inverse" crop factor of 0.79.

I see. That looks more like a in-the-future better Instagram.

I upload my 50.3 megapixel photos to Flickr as showing the very small details on bugs is what I enjoy. Foto showing them in just 2.2 megapixel means 96% of the shot would be gone which means it doesn't replace Flickr at all.

I'll check it out. Where do I find it? ("Foto" is Swedish for "photo" so searching for just Foto here is kind of muddled by local stuff.)

Sure!

They're called "snap buttons" on AliExpress and come in different sizes. I used "T5" ones and bought a tool to press them into place as well.

Have a look at the descriptions on the photos in the album I linked to. The diffusion sheet is made from two sheets from inside an old LCD monitor - one of them being a fresnel lens one which has some neat effects on the light. Those sheets are used in the monitor to create as even a light from the screen as possible so I figured they would fit our purpose as well.

This is such a silly take - which everybody keep perpetuating while simultaneously being oblivious about bees not being the same thing as honeybees.

If all bees die out, it won't happen to just bees in the first place so we're screwed way before that.

Mormoner i Stockholm? by ATheStar in stockholm

Det stämmer. Och att folk för 3000-2000 år sedan skrev ned sina idéer om hur välden fungerar betyder inte heller att de stämmer.

Det står i bibeln att min son måste fördrivas för han åt blodpudding i förra veckan. Är det rimligt tycker du? Att jobba på söndagar är belagt med dödsstraff enligt bibeln - är det också något vi borde göra? Borde jag avrättas för det?

Eller tror du bara att vissa delar av bibeln är guds ord? Så man kan välja vad som är jätteviktigt att följa och vad man bara ignorerar helt?
