Fluffy thing

[Omaroo]

Fluffy dandelions are great for experimenting with Micro lenses - apart from the fact that even set at f/32 the DOF is dang difficult to hold at this level, and, being shot outside so was focus due to wind. Both images have not been cropped at all - so what you see was in-frame.

I had fun though! :)

dandilions are good to practice on hey :) because they are so big tho (relatively speaking) its hard getting a decent dof hey :)

it looks great though :)
did you use the flash at all?

[Omaroo]

thanks oh hairy one :)

No flash - natural light. Going to set up inside and use one there.

PS - I found my Nikon BR2 reversing ring for you to try too.... at least you'll have a proper Nikon F bayonet mount to try instead of rubber bands on your current setup. I take it that your lens has a 52mm filter thread?
