Extreme Macros, S9000, Can't Get Closer Than This

[nickphoto123]

Hello All,

You can't get closer than this with the 28-300 mm fixed lens of the S9000.

Extreme Macros of Fallen Leaves and Rose Petals (plucked from live roses).
All subjects were placed directly against my UV filter ( B&W ), Manual Focus.

Please excuse my fingers but they were the only way I could keep these leaves and rose petals in place against my UV filter.

Lighting was by removing my lens shade and permitting direct sunshine to fall upon each subject at an angle to my lens.

( The S9000 is a truly amazing photographic tool, IMHO. )

hi martin
it is simple,
once you finish writing your mesage(or even before!)
left click on manage attachments (find it down below)
as you do new window opens up,
ok. click on browse, it will take you to your picture files,
choose (most likely) my pictures,
and than browse in between them,
double click on it, then click on upload,
and hey presto picture starts download itself(slowly at first),
than you will see it as 'current atachment'(size included)
and your picture can be previed by clicking on it,
close this window, preview your post,
and now come the best part TA<TTTAAAA, submit replay,
to me it is the best part, sheering part of yor live with the world,
with complet strangers,(sounds criminal does it not?)
we do or dont pray...
in this case ...thanks mr.internet (hahaha)
now the price for this mesage is couple of pictures(preferably more)
to be send by you to fuji forum,
ps as i was writing it i have done the same thing (followed myself),
sound strange but it worked...
good luck,
keep well,
zdzislaw
nothing personal about the flower, that was the first thing that poped out!
almost forgot check the size of your attachment! if nesessery downsize it carefully with your software,
