Hi everyone! My name is Daniel and I am from the land down under, sunburnt country or Australia, whatever you like to call it!
I love photography of many kinds, however my prime focus is macro and landscapes, as the username suggests! Macro especially, which cured my fear of many insects and arthropods. Now I play with those spiders rather than kicking them out of the house! And trust me, stereotypes are very true here, my bedroom shelters 3 spiders.
I am currently working on the equipment for my university capstone project, which is going to be a photomacrographic-rig of some sort. I was very very lucky to score a nice Ultra-Micro-Nikkor 28mm f/1.8 M=1/10E off ebay for an extremely cheap price. Here's a quick example of what the lens can produce:

The legs are blurry which tells me that I need to take more photos for the stake. PS would be better for stacking too... more control over masking layers. Oh well, all just a test! And I didn't have to murder that innocent moth (before it murders itself by banging onto lights).
Look forward to seeing yall around! I am also directly in touch with the engineer at Laowa (Venus Optics), so I may bring out some surprises!
