What kind of light are you using for the shots?I still need more practice
Exploring the Microscopic World of Trichome Photography

I actually still had grow light on and camera has a separate led light ring that fits onto the zoom lens
I see now. Does the Led light ring have an adjustment for brightness? If you could control the white blow outs you would have a nice consistent lighting, like the left half of that first image. The trichomes can be seen nicely.
If there is a way to put a filter to diffuse the brightness on the light to tone it down some, that would be helpful to you. Maybe the grow light off and try that too, just long enough for your photo. I use a small led light taped to a hand help clamp, and move it back and forth to light where I want it. The Led flashlight has a piece of white silk taped over it to diffuse the bright light.
You could try a faster shutter speed as well, the faster the shutter speed the less light the camera captures, but helps control motion from camera shake and fans or whatever too.
They are certainly sugary!
That looks pretty cool. If you have an adjustment for the brightness of the led light ring, you might play around with that a bit, or try to tone it down. Maybe a piece of parchment or something cut to fit. Whatever works. I'm going to look that up and see what it's all about.Thankyou so much for the tips and tricks . This is what my kit looks like
I almost bought one of those light rings for my DSLR last year. Thought it would help get light onto bugs hiding in leaves and shade. They see you coming and head for dark places. LOL
Oh, and watch your fingers when adjusting that extension arm bracket. You can pinch very easily. Ask me how I know.Thankyou so much for the tips and tricks . This is what my kit looks like
Yes it has a little dimmer dial.
At the start of this thread I linked to this one i purchase, there's 2 different models a red one with VGA plugs and the blue one i purchased with the HDMI plug
tap the green writing saying this one
This one was taken way back in 2014-ish. I was doing some seed cultivation experiments on a couple of plants. I don't even remember what lens I used, probably a set of close up rings for my camera lens.
Not great, but I love how the seeds look nestled in their little calyxes.

Can I dip and swirl that in my morning hot cuppa? You wouldn't mind, right? I'm out of regular sugar.Can I join with my crappie pic Cannon A570 Indoor macro mode freehand cropped
Im not sure why the first 2 came out with a black and white look
I was going to ask, but thought you did it on purpose. My old camera scope did that now and then and I was not sure why either.
Amazing pictures! I love this thread!
