Photography, especially macro or close-up, has
always been one of our hobbies. Here is a small sampling of our favorite photos.
|
Here is Checkpoint Charlie along the
Berlin Wall (not a friendly place back then). It ’s a digital scan
originally taken with a Kodak Instamatic (and lot of retouching in Adobe
Photoshop.) Dave was a tender 18 years old and toured Europe in the Summer
of ’67. |
...moving on to 1974, an Olympus OM-1 and
my bride. (scanned again) |

We entered the digital age with a Kodak
DC-290 then moved on to a Nikon Coolpix 995, and recently a Nikon
D-70. Here ’s a reflection of concours preparation at a Porsche Club
event in a 911T chrome wheel. |
Here's the new super-macro setup. It’s a
Nikon PB-4 bellows (optional extension ring at the rear) and a 55mm F2.8
Micro-Nikkor that can be reversed for even more magnification. |

And here are two macro examples. On the left a
close-up of the fuzzy leaf of Tillandsia duratii, and on the right the familiar
face of Andrew Jackson...
