New Macro setup

[Lumen Miner (Mitchell)]

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?

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.

Mitchell, you are learning a lot. That's what life is about
