Question from Chris about macro photography equipment
-
I came across your article on
Macro Photography and was
wondering if you could enlighten me about the apparatus you're using to
hold the subject and backdrop.
My google skills are apparently lacking because I
can seem to come up with any pieces or parts that size.
SPECIAL
REQUEST - When contacting Better Photographs, please
ensure that you supply your correct email address and that you follow
the guidelines about whitelisting which appear with all our contact
forms.
This
particular question required an answer from the original author of the
article which was then passed on to Chris.
We have no idea whether Chris has
received the answer to his question as he has yet to reply but we
assume that he either supplied an invalid email address or that he has
not whitelisted the better-photographs.com domain.
Answer -
Hi Chris,
Thank you for contacting me.
I have contacted the author of the masterclass and
hope to have an answer
for you soon.
Best wishes,
John

Sorry for the delay, but I have had some problems
in contacting the firm
below:
The laboratory scaffolding I use is made by S Murray and Co, but the
photographic scaffolding I use is partly discontinued. Maybe
other firms do
similar laboratory scaffolding, but I don't know who they are.
I use Murray's CLIMPEX. It is used by
close up photographers
in the jewellery world for instance.
I know some is still in stock They are a friendly
and helpful company,
however I suspect that they are reducing staff in these
difficult times so
you may not easily get hold of them on the phone.
Go into www.climpex.co.uk for telephone
numbers and details or else -
sales @ smurray.co.uk
or sales @ climpex.co.uk
Good Luck,
John McCormack
