Macro shot of the front of my phono cartridge, complete with dust from the last playing and subsequent "dust web". Incidentally, this is one terrific-sounding cartridge, a moving coil design, that cost me $300 in 1982. Let's see, that was 29 years ago.....do you think $10 per year is too much to pay for absolutely top quality vinyl sound?
Incidentally, this and the preceding six shots were taken with a cobbled together macro lens, consisting of a Nikon 85mm f/1.8 AF lens coupled to a Kenko Pro 300 1.4X telextender and sporting an Olympus 62mm screw-in macro lens adaptor. This combo does exceptionally well as a close up lens, as witness the clarity and smooth background bokeh shown here.
I did this as a creative excercise for one of my forums. I wanted to see the ordinary and mundane in a fresh new way.
This is a rotary that sits at the South Hadley end of the Holyoke-South Hadley bridge that carries Route 202 across the Connecticut River between the two municipalities.
The bold linear graphic just seems completely the opposite of the word "rotary", so I decided to "scale it up" from a small sign to an imposing linear presence by shooting with a closeup lens and straightening the wide-angle distortion with trusty DxO anti-distortion software.
I like the effect: gigantic, linear, and nothing "rotary" about it!
