How to get decent macro shot with my T3i + EF 70-300mm f/4-5. 6 IS USM

Someone here can direct me to a good tutorial on getting the macro shots decent with my objective T3i + EF 70-300mm f/4-5. 6 IS USM?  I'm pretty good in online searches, but I can't find are reviews and unboxings .  Even the manual I found isn't really give instructions re: macro, even if the lens itself says '1.5m/4.9ft MACRO' right on it.

Thank you very much in advance for any help!

To use the lens for close-up photography, zoom focal length max (300mm for example) and run the tune-up to the minimum focus distance.  The distance of the development of saddle is close enough consider it is a zoom 70-300mm lens... but it's nowhere near as close as a dedicated macro lens to true.

You can get close... There are two ways to do this.

(1) you can use a near plan diopter.  So that the lens you want the Canon telephoto lens 500 d (specifically you want the version with diameter of 58 mm threads to attach to the front of the lens 70-300 mm).  It's about $85.  It is a goal to two elements (which is good better than any diopter close-up of part 3).

(2) you can use "extension tubes".  An extension tube is (believe it or not) exactly what the name says... it is a hollow tube... and it extends the distance between the lens and the camera body.  You attach to the camera (such as a lens) and then set the goal to draw instead of the body.  This positions the lens away from the plan of the image inside the unit and, therefore, range full tune-up of the camerea is shifted more near the camera (focusing more close distance was 1.5 meter without extension tube, but will be reduced to 42 centimeters just with the attached Canon 25 mm extension tube).  It allows not only the camea to focus at a distance closer, it also increases the size of the image) extension Tubes don't have any glass in there - they are completely hollow.  The body of the tube a pine e-mail to transmit signals through so that the camera body and the lens will always be able to communicate.

The Canon 25mm extension tube is about $140.  Kenko is another popular brand (their tubes are delivered as a 'game' of three different lengths).

Whether you use tubes extension or close-up diopters, Cannon suggests that you should manually focus the lens.

When you arrive at very close distance of focus, depth of field can become quite shallow.  If shallow you can't get as much of your subject in focus as you want.  Use the Hard-Core (a) macro photographers a tripod (because after precisely focusing...) "If your body moves a few millimeters, it may completely lift the subject outside the home).  If you do not want to make sure that you do not move (and the best way to do that is usually to use a stationary object to hold the camera - as a tirpod.)

They can also use a technique called "focus stacking."  The development of stacking is to take several pictures.  You take a picture, tweaking the development by a few millimetres and take another shot and repeat until you have enough plans to stack the subject of front-to-back with all the positions of different orientation.  The images are then merged using software (Photoshop will do, but there are third-party products that are dedicated to the development of stacking as well.)

I did it by wrapping a piece of tape around the ring to focus on my goal.  I then focus point of closest focus and use a marker to mark this point (on the Strip).  Then I focus on the point most distant from the focus I care and mark this spot on the Strip as well.  Now I take a series of photos... each, then slightly focus a little bit at a time, take another picture, and repeat until I got enough to get the closest points to the farthest, I scored on that tape.

More difficult Basic macro photographers will sometimes use what is called a rail development.  It is a track that Mount you on the tripod and then set the camera to a carrier rolling on "rail".  Rail has fine adjustment that allow to move the camera with control.  You run the rail back (furthest point), then focus your goal for the closet focusing point on your topic.  Rather than turn the ring on the lens... you use the buttons on the focus rail - which physically moves the camera forward.

  • How to create a movie shot with a long camera around the scene?

    Here's a question in compositing with AE.

    If for example we have a scene where a camera is inside or outside of a moving car, which is animated in Maya - here the camera can be locked for a window of the car from inside the car or locked in the car outside the car.  The car drove for a minute.  If the artist wants to use a paint plate mate as the backdrop for the environment of the distance, mountains etc. exactly how can it be achieved when compositing with AE? I mean, more masts paintings are a great HD 1080 p, or 4K plate so that the camera moves / pans can be obtained for the desire for a ball in the scene, which most of the time has a duration of seconds, before another shot is framed for a new scene and using a hide another painting as necessary which is excellent. However, for a car that drives for a minute, how does a composite this horizontal long pole in AE?

    One solution is to import the image Matt long 'a minute' as a plan of the image to Maya and install cameras to capture the matte in the background of the scene accordingly, but this can have disadvantages in terms of flexibility/glance.

    I hope that pros EI and experienced people can help me get guidance and potential solutions. Maybe if you can point me to resources written or video that can directly answer my question, would be too great!

    Thank you.

    If they are flat paints and you need a very long one that is too big to create on a single layer, then you just stack in layers so the edges match and animate the position and in off-peak so they match.

    Another option is to use something like Trapcode Horizon to create a transparent background.

    A third option is to match the camera angle, the position and the movement with a real camera and then shoot a background plate. It's the way they shot in car studio scenes as they began to do so.

    With respect to the implementation of the mast, just to make your 3D with an alpha channel stuff and put in place the appropriate layer structure.

  • How to get MacVim to work with the terminal?

    I am new to development and have tried to use vim in my terminal, but when you use xcode and vim, I can't see my files created. He repeats to me not found. Then I read all these things about MacVim installation but it does not say developer unidenitified? Then must I contact Apple Developer? I'm taking a class on the development of the app and I'm stuck. Anyone? Can you help me? Mjuch appreciated!

    The first time you use MacVim, you need and do a right-click on the application, then choose open. A dialog box appears that tells you that it comes from a developer that is unidentified and yet gives you an open button. Click the Open button to launch MacVim. Once you have done this, then you can just double-click on the application MacVim icon and it will start normally.

    The MacVim pop up unidentified developer has absolutely nothing to do with you, or any dependence on registering as an Apple Developer. If the request is from a source other than the OS X App Store, you will always get this pop up, and now you know how to navigate around it.

  • How to get a Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 pre-loaded drive?

    Vista SP2 installation disc

    I have a DVD disc of installation for Vista Home Premium, 32-bit, with no SP. I bought it retail at Fry shortly after that Vista was released and have used this copy of Vista on an Intel D975XBX2 Mobo. I kept Vista updated with periodic downloads from Windows Update. I have a valid product key provided with the DVD of the installion said. For reasons which are not relevant, I lost the hard drive I was using with Intel MoBo975XBX2. Now, I'm doing a clean install on this MoBo Intel even using the original installation DVD. Because my installation DVD is obsolete, I can't complete installation.

    I would like to get a DVD with SP2 installation of Windows. How can I do?

    You pouvez integrate service packs in your DVD, but everything that it is placing the SPs in the update folder and adding their execution for the installation of Windows script, result being an RTM installation with automatic update for SP1 and SP2, therefore subsequently. Allows you to save a few clicks of the mouse after the initial Setup, but is probably the same that if you downloaded the SPs manually through Windows Update.

    Install DVD with integrated SP2 are available through Technet. If the download is not free. But maybe you know someone who has access Technet, which might give you a disc?

  • How to get started developing applications with Webworks

    Hi all!

    So I have an idea to build an HTML5 app for use by the Office on BES10. Basically it digitizes a 2 page paper form to be used on a device (PlayBook or Android) taking advantage of the function of swipping and scrolling of screen minimizing

    Here are the details:

    (1) the office worker: take Excel data and partially fills a form (or multiple shapes - similar to mail merge) to a specific area coordinator.

    (2) the office worker: push forms pre-filled as a coordinator on a PlayBook application or another html5 client connected to BES10 (private App)

    (3) Coordinator: logs in-App to 'their space '.

    (4) Coordinator: filling out form and supports (or partially fill in form to submit later).

    (5) time stamp is applied to participate "forms" submitted.

    (6) field coordinator: can view their history of completed forms (read-only)

    (7) the office worker: can view, print, save, or extract data from forms.

    How I started with this project? I have to go back and take a class HTML5 then a webworks courses?

    Thanks for your comments.

    Hello

    When you think Webworks is a framework that relies on HTML5, CSS and JavaScript for its applications.

    So if you are looking to develop an application, with a background in HTML5, JavaScript and CSS is certainly recommended and would be the best starting point that I can recommend.

    In your case, it seems that it would also be a bit of work on the backbone (to store data on a server) for which I highly recommend looking in Node.js + Express.js (for the web server) and MySQL for any back-end storage.

    WebWorks which gives you on top of that is a subset of the JavaScript APIs specific BlackBerry that allows you to take advantage of the native features (Toast messages, Push Services, etc.)
    https://developer.BlackBerry.com/HTML5/APIs/v2_1/

    However the structure underlying and functionality is always HTML5, JavaScript and CSS.

    Once your application is HTML5 writes, and you have chosen to use / not use WebWorks APIs, you can then use WebWorks to 'package' for your project of HTML5 in a file that runs on BlackBerry 10 devices.

    The app itself is so standard web technology, with the ability to use native APIs via WebWorks. And WebWorks place it in a container that can be run on a physical device.

    For PlayBook, it's the best starting point:

  • How to get dynamic Wordpress blog with images on my site?

    Hello!

    I'm sure this must have been invited somewhere before, but I can't find recent information on this.

    I try to get my Wordpress Blog linked to our site from Muse. I went through the widget RSS Blog tutorial, and the part of text everything is perfect. But I'd like to be able to get the images to come through the messages. Go through on this widget that does not seem possible.

    -What are my options?

    There is another magic widget, I have not found yet? Is it possible to force RSS Blog to do what I want?

    Deploys the iframe etc really the only way I can go? (and I just couldn't wrap my head around what is happening to my SEO if I take this option).

    And a follow-up - are there any 'feature article' / cursor type widgets which will connect to a wordpress feed (i.e. automatically to a new slide / update slides to be the latest 3 posts)?

    Nothing to do with the Muse. You need a plugin WP that can pick up custom workflows. The default RSS does none of this, it returns only the excerpt from the article.

    I have vsphere with a number of distributed virtual switches.

    I have a number of ports on each dvswitch groups.

    I want to get the names and the vlan-IDS of all port groups.

    I tried:

    Get-VirtualSwitch-name MyDVSwitch | Get-VirtualPortGroup | Select Name, Vlanid

    It returns a list of the names of port group and just empty to the VLANID. I expected to see:

    Name Vlanid

    --------      ---------

    mypg-1 23

    mypg-2 17

    mypg-3 48

    and so on. But I just get:

    Name Vlanid

    --------      ---------

    mypg-1

    mypg-2

    mypg-3

    any ideas? Also, I would prefer to have a script that does not specify the dvswitch by name, but rather concluded all the port groups on all the dvswitches on all clusters in the data center and listed by name and id vlan.

    Thank you

    Are you obvisouly looking discussions on distributed switches, for those that the VlanId property is not present.

    You can do

    Get-VirtualSwitch-name MyDVSwitch | Get-VirtualPortGroup | `

    Select Name, @{N = 'VLANId'; E={$_. Extensiondata.Config.DefaultPortCOnfig.Vlan.VlanId}}

    Note that this does not work for GRPE of uplink ports.
