of course ! i have a 4x5 so i know the back changing thing... just was wondering if you used close ups or extension tubes...
thanks for all the infos, i'll give it a try when i have some time ;)

great... but then how do you focus so close ? stack on the lens or on the back ? you need something else don't you ? :-)
^
yes of course you have to buy some close up lens that will be add to what ever lens you're using.
i got the "camray close-up lens set" on ebay. it wasn't expensive at all.
you put it on your camera, with the ground glass you make your focus, use the tripod so once you have made it you don't move the camera and the model has to not move either.
and you change the back film the one with your film in it.
and you shoot!!

easy just takes a lots of time...

Very nice shot... what kind of system do you use to make such a close up shot with a 600SE ? do you have a glassground back ?
^
i made a ground glass myself...
easy and cheap and i guess it works.

^

can´t but say that it´s a nothing else than awonderful shot...
love the simple fact that it´s "upside down" which makes you look at it more carefully right away.

hey darling...
don't wanna be boring just saying that as usual ou've done a wonderful pola, so a question 4 you: where have you found the close up lens for the 600se?

^
thanks Spitocco,
for the close ups, i found it on ebay i think.
i guess you can use any of the close up lenses you find that feet on your SE but you need to have a focusing hood to make the focus because you view finder will not work any more of course!
i made one myself and made a video on youtube if you're interested.
after that you have to use a tripod and proceed like you would do with a 4x5 camera like Toyo or anything else like that.
but i'm not gonna teach you how to take pictures you're a master yourself!
