📷 Details of a Butterfly's Wing - Trogonoptera brookiana / 蝴蝶翅膀細節 - 翠葉紅頸鳳蝶

[shieha]

1:1 Macro and Beyond
大於一比一放大倍率微距攝影

Hello friends, today I'd like to share some photos I took of a Trogonoptera brookiana specimen. I explored the details on the wings at 1x magnification and some at roughly 5.55x magnification. I recommend clicking on the images to view them in full-size!

Also please feel free to use the #SciencePic tag for science related photos!

大家好，今天我來分享一些翠葉紅頸鳳蝶標本的照片。我透過1倍及5.55倍放大倍率來拍攝翅膀的細節，因此我建議點開全圖來觀賞！

順便來推廣一下 #SciencePic ！

Shots at 1x magnification / 1倍放大

These shots are roughly at 1x magnification, I used a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 macro lens adapted on a Sony A7 mounted on a macro focusing slider attached to a tripod. Light source was a table lamp.

這些照片大約是一倍的放大倍率，我用了Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 微距鏡轉接到Sony A7機身，固定在微距雲臺及脚架上。光源來自一盞燈。

Shots at 5.55x magnification / 5.55倍放大

These shots are roughly at 5.55x magnification, to achieve this I attached a Canon EF-S 18-55mm lens in reverse to the 100mm lens. With the 100mm lens focused to infinity, the 18-55mm in reverse acts like a magnifying glass. The total magnification is calculated by 100 divided by the focal length of the reversed lens, in this case I used 18mm, so I can get the maximum magnification out of this setup. The 100mm lens is kept at its maximum aperture of f/2.8.

這些照片大約是5.55倍的放大倍率，透過反裝在100mm鏡頭前面的Canon EF-S 18-55mm鏡頭來實現。此組合裏頭的18-55mm扮演的角色就像一個放大鏡，而100mm鏡頭則像顯微鏡的管鏡。我將18-55mm鏡頭設在18mm段，放大倍率是100除以18等於5.55。100mm鏡頭光圈拍攝時全開在f/2.8。

真的好漂亮。大自然给的保护色真是炫

[shieha]

是啊，大自然真的很奧妙！

謝謝，這隻真的漂亮~

[listen]

Upvoted. I'm going to resteem this now :)

[shieha]

Thank you very much @listen :)

[nationalpark]

真漂亮！能不能给大家讲讲怎么拍微距？

[shieha]

謝謝！哦可以啊~

[maestroq]

Fantastic details!

[shieha]

Thank you @maestroq :)

Very beautifull photos! I love macro shots.

[shieha]

Thank you @unomas, me too!

[pepe.maya]

Amazing macro! Great details :)

[shieha]

Thank you @pepe.maya!

[matrixbot]

shieha got some love from .

[shieha]

Thanks @matrixbot!

Great macros dude. Was thinking of getting back to macro photography. I believe it was a micro lens with more than 1:1 magnification?

[shieha]

Thanks, Canon has a lens with 1 to 5x magnification, I think it's the MP-E 65mm f/2.8.

[bescouted]

Cool. I actually was thinking to get this one. Could produce interesting results and try microphotography :)

[shieha]

That's cool, didn't know about that one!

[bescouted]

It is sick isn't it :)

[shieha]

Definitely, you're using a Sony camera as well?

[bescouted]

Yep, since i've sold my FF Nikon i am using Sony a6300 for majority of my shots.

[biuiam]

謝謝你推廣 #sciencepic, 不過要加多一些科學描述, 說一下那些鱗片也可以der~

[shieha]

嗯~這次主要是介紹拍攝的科學哈哈

[biuiam]

真的其實出一次拍攝的科學文章教教小弟也好,等我不只rely on iphone~

[natashahall]

Wow! Fascinating close ups! Really nice work capturing this beautiful creature! It's amazing to see these parts of it so close, I don't think I've ever seen anything like it :)

[shieha]

Thank you so much Natasha!
