How i manage to create a macro-studio setup


I was wondering about how i could find a way to hang my photo-subject in a macro-photograpy setup.

To do so I gather bits and pieces laying around.


This is the final setup. More info along the webpage



in this picture:two metalbrackets 90degree angle with holes.baloons.round magnet (on the top). Wheel piece to fasten magnet. screws and wing nuts. Black baseplate (plastic). Binder clips (black).Baloons.




I found an empty 3Dprint-ink-reel. Turns out it was perfect for this application.



Two of this is perfect for the lense tilt-adjustments. That is a door-holder-wedge. It is made of rubber.



those two black paper-clamps are there in case if i need something to hold the subject if the magnet can't hold it.



my camera was uneven on the bottom. so i used ballons to even the camera and to hold it steady. The reel makes it easyer to move camera twards the subject.



I used remote trigger on my camera. Practical when you need long expose shutter time.


The top image was a result of vibration i made on the table and long expoure. so i connected the remote release gadget. The last photo is the latest image. the lens is a Mitacon 20mm 4.5x Supermacro. with ajustable apature point in the front.
