Perfect conditions on that day Peter -no wind, light overcast clouds, etc. All I had to do was not screw it up

Early morning sun filtered through haze and thin clouds -nothing special, just kept the sun at my back. Canon's 180L macro + an 81A warming filter. In post I added an adjustment layer and changed it's property to "soft light" and then set the opacity slider from 25 to 50 % (adjusted until I got the color / contrast that I wanted). It's a cheap trick that boosts contrast (and ultimately the color) without pushing the contrast slider and I use it to varying degrees on all of my images.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, or too basic for this forum. I have not done much with macro photography, and I'm just wondering what you guys mean by 1:1, full size, 1/2 life size, etc. I don't understand what those terms mean. I bought some macro rings, but haven't played with them much yet.

If it's too complicated to explain it here, can someone point me where I can find all this out? Thanks!

I'll take a stab at this for you .........

1:1 means your subject = the size of the image on you sensor i.e. 1/4 inch subject would result in an image that was 1/4 inch on your sensor

1/2 life size = an image on the sensor that is 1/2 times the true size of the subject. Using the example of 1/4 inch subject the image on the sensor would be 1/8 of an inch.

I have not defined the size of the sensor as it is irrelevant.

2:1, 3:1 etc. now are meaning the the image on the sensor is magnified twice and three times the true size of the subject. (some times noted as 2X, 3X etc)

I hope this helps.

I suspect this is not what Tom meant in the original get out of your comfort zone but shooting at 10:1 with a microscope lens on a camera hand held is definitely outside my comfort zone
