Bombed

A lady I follow on SheClicks and Camera Club takes the most amazing macros using a Raynox filter. I put my +10 macro filter onto the 50mm lens it fits to see if I could copy her and, to some extent, Jo ( @ziggy77 ) who also does fabulous shallow depth of field macros.

Weeelll, I found that on my first attempt, I couldn't! You need good compositional skills, patience, no breeze and possibly a tripod-thingy-whatsit. Being photobombed by this pollen laden bee rescued this image for me.

Well done Jackie, it sure looks fabulous! I have a raynox but never use it, maybe I should give it a go too ;-)

I love it's fluffy bottom...
I wish I could be bothered taking out my tripod-thingy-whatsit but I never am 🙄

A bumbling good capture.

I like the final results! whenever I try to get a macro, it always turns out dark

[Christine Sztukowski]

Wonderful creations

I really like close-ups with a narrow dof. They have so much magic in them.

This is lovely.

I like it- I like the dreamy soft focus and the fuzzy buzzer. Nice shot!
