Gnome sayin’? (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Bertsherbles to c/photocritique
 

I have no monies for any extra gear or lens adapters, but I have this 40 yr old macro lens (doesn’t mount to any of my film camera bodies) I had been using to magnify images onto the iphone 14 telephoto lens sensor and I finally purchased an actual digital camera (and apparently hands down the worst DSLR camera body Canon has ever dared to manufacture - the t100) which was cheap enough for me to melt a hole into the body cap until I could glue it as a mount to the macro lens so I could get a little more life out of this thing. Now, all things considered, how apparent is the Frankenstein lens and aps-c sensor configuration on a camera that is known to lack the same features that used models that have the exact same image sensor have??? Based on this image of course. I think she did pretty damn good

I really like the gnome. I wasn’t exactly sure what it was at first, but I actually enjoyed feeling like I was peeking through the flowers to see it.

I’m on the fence with the cat. Too much out of focus. But I like the detail of the flower. I just wish the center flower was in focus instead of the one off to the left.

Altogether though - it’s clear you have an eye. Equipment is just a small part of being a good photographer. Nice job!

Agreed, equipment limitations will absolutely make you a better photographer!
