If you hadn’t mentioned that flower wasn’t really that blue, I wouldn’t have known. Nice composition.

While my wife was at a doctor’s appointment, I went for a walk in the rain…

Learning how to use in camera focus stacking. Handheld 40-150mm with 16mm extension tube.

Also with the 40-150mm and 16mm extension tube. Just a single shot, no focus stacking.

Looks like you are enjoying your 90mm
Do / did you have the 60mm macrro?
If so, how are you finding any differences?
I was wondering how much difference in working distance you get at say 0.4 to 0.8 times magnification. I have read that there isn’t much when you get to 1:1

Hi Stephen

I do own the 60mm macro bit i haven’t compared the two lenses side by side. What I prefer in the 90mm is the angle of view and the longer working distance for average macro shots. The high magnification images are still to be made as I am waiting for appropriate occasions.

Sorry about that but more images will follow.
