Typewriter- Macros

I had some work done on my eyes (not cosmetic)

so it has been hard to work or play outside. I decided to play

indoors with my new macro lens. Still a very learning experience.

The depth of field is critical and even with a small aperture it was a challenge.

I have an old typewriter that I believe my sister used when she

went to nursing school. It still works.

The first one is a good example of the depth of field challenges

I faced. You'll notice the capital F is focused but the lower case f isn't 

and they aren't that far away from each other.

Here's just a wider view and better depth of field. Though still very shallow.

Here's something that those younger than probably 50 have never seen. A fabric ink

ribbon. This one is completely dried out, but I can remember how 

messy they were to change,

Did a better job with the depth of field on this one. The keys are actually on a different

plain. I kept adjusting the angle of the camera to the keys until I was able to 

get both in focus. I love the look of these old keys. No arial font here.

This is as close as I could get with the lens. But I think it's close enough. Hmm what 

about extension tubes. Still love the look of the old keys.

Go, See, Enjoy
