"Class Ring Emblem"

Close up of my high school class ring cross country emblem shot in studio on chrome. I liked the light on the upper body of the he/she. I shot this with speedo strobes, with the light over top shooting through a diffusion screen with fill cards below reflecting upwards. 4:1 ratio.

Nikon FM2 on Fujichrome
ISO:100 (old film, actually around 75)
F/16 @ 1/60th
105mm lens all out w/ 190mm of extension

"Macro Cleaner"

The nozzle of a squirt bottle. I have been trying to capture a bit of action in my recent macro set-ups, so I attempted at freezing the water coming out. Therefore, I used a vivitar 285 set on manual, and fill cards for the opposite side. 2:1 ratio.

Match-fire

A matchstick photographed in my apartment using Alien Bee strobes on either side, with gobo's flagging light off of the background. Depth of field was shallow, but I felt the actual flame carried the image. Around 2:1 ratio.

Toenail

A piece of toenail just after being detached from the toe. A product of Hematoma, which caused the nail to fall off in its own time. This was shot with Alien Bee strobes, and tissue paper as a soft box. 4:1 ratio.

"Rosary Skull"

A skull on the bottom of an antique rosary. This was shot with the same camera set up as the below mushroom bead. This time I back lit through a diffusion screen and put a little fill light onto the front. 2:1 ratio.

"Macroshroom"

This is a glass bead I shot for macro. I used the bellows, a 105mm, and an extension tube. Lit with a speedotron strobe from above through a diffusion screen. Lots of fill cards around the sides, and a black gobo for shading the background. This is 2:1 ratio.

Macro: Top-Sider

My shoelace eye was the subject in this macro photograph. I lit this with two speedotron heads. One hitting a diffusion screen on the left and the other front lighting with a green gel on it. This macro ratio is about 1.8:1.

Macro: Toothpicks

Another macro photograph, this time of some wooden toothpicks. This was shot with chrome. Huh? Chrome!! Oh.. This was actually really easy to light, I just used a speedotron, pointing it downward onto the scene. The ratio is around 2.85:1, or 2.85 magnification.
