Chrysanthemum I

Played with the macro lens and different lengths of extension tubes tonight. This shot was taken with just the 60mm Macro lens

In alternative album: 60mm Macro lens with 65mm extension tubes.

Great macro shot!

[April]

I like this one...it has a bit of variety in the petals and I like the light.

[Kay Hodges]

Nice shot

[Taffy]

Love this macro -- all the lines and the shades of green work really well.

[Laura]

Great effect, i love the colours!

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

I prefer this one to the other, maybe because of the composition and the light in the background. Great macro shot!

@leonbuys83 zelfs in het Welsh, spreek je dat? Ik niet, ken alleen wat woorden, moeilijke taal.

[Leon Buijs]

@overalvandaan ik heb twee jaar in Llandysul (Ceredigion) gewoond en gewerkt bij de Tregroes Waffle Bakery, toen ook Welshe les gevolgd maar inderdaad moeilijke taal en als je het niet gebruikt verleer je veel, maar dank je wel zeggen lukt nog wel.

Lovely close up! Great focus

[Hubregt Visser]

It's a though decision but I think I prefer this one over the one with the extension tube. It seems to be more clear, although I find it dificult to define clear.

@elinreppe thank you very much Elin

[Leon Buijs]

@hjv I find that when using all the extension tubes you lose a bit of sharpness/clarity. The DoF gets so small it's hard to get a large area in focus. But I still like the results I'm getting with them. Thank you for your comments
