up close

decided to try some macro today and had a very frustrating photo session. Tried different lenses, extension tubes, etc. Maybe I can blame the hot weather - we have no air conditioning :).
These little mums are small, about an inch in diameter.
Finally got this halfway passable image with the velvet 56 with extension tubes. I think I used to be more successful at macro - need to go back to macro "school."
I think this is lovely, I have some days where I can't do a good macro no matter what, then other days they just work.

You can definitely blame the hot weather but you don't need to since this is amazing... it is so hot/humid here I'm wilting even in the AC.

It turned out beautiful with the reflection. yes the heat gets us down. every day for weeks on end over 100 degree F. the air conditioner never shuts down. sorry you are without one.

I love the light and reflection - can't imagine how we use to live without air-conditioning. I remember when I first started teaching in Arkansas there was no a/c - miserable!
