New Macro setup

[Lumen Miner]

Well i've sported a Moe and I am feeling all like "I need a change". The old 50mm reversed lens, on the 50mm wasn't impressing me much. I am yet to buy a dedicated Macro.
I thought I would give the reversed 50 a go, on my 250mm lens.


DOF is razor thin, making it hard to photo 3d objects. These are taken hand held, until I build a slide track for this thing.

They are straight out of the camera. No PP at all.
Tryed a few shots of dandelion seeds, this is what I came up with.

Thanks for looking.
Comments and critique welcomed as always.

First thing I noticed was nice, soft light. Natural or flash? Do you have any control over aperture?

[Lumen Miner]

Thanks.
Was taken in my softbox. It's 2x500w ultra white halogens through calico. Then front flashed by the camera flash.

Yes, I believe I do have control of aperture...

Thought there must've been something like that with the lighting. Very nice.
