 Same set-up as the tulip shot (in the "Speaking of Flowers" thread). Mamiya NC1000 with a 50mm Vivitar macro lens AND a #2 extension tube. On the same roll of Fuji Superia 100. |

Mickey:
My depth of field was really effected by using the extension tube in conjunction with the macro lens -- but that was the effect I was after, so I was pleased. You should be ecstatic about that pink rose shot. ;D

Ron,
I am but the red rose is terrible. It is too stark. Although I like the out of focus fuzzy leaves. I don't know why they came out like that. There may have been water on the lens.
I like the depth of ield in your picture. It isolates the one important bloom very successfully.
What kind of flower is it?
Mickey

I thought I'd give some flowers a try...I got an adapter ring and mounted my 50 Macro Takumar to my Canon digital. It seems to work very well, but requires about -1 stop exposure correction. This is the first climatis bloom this season.  Here's the center at full size...  |

Mickey,
Sometimes seen that effect when the subject is massively over-exposed - any chance that that could have happened? I generally prefer red roses, but your white/pink one is beautiful.
Ron,
I tend to forget how handy extension tubes are. I want to do some work with bellows to see what I can achieve - I have a little project on spider's webs that we may all see what we can do.
Charles,
Ironic isn't it? We all return to our old favourite lenses when we really want to get in close with our modern cameras! You did very well with the Tak - nice shots.
Regards - John

John,
I used Fujichrome for slides. Over exposure would have washed out the picture, no?
Charles,
That clematis is a knockout!
The leaves are just beginning to show on mine. It will be weeks before there are blooms.

What kind of flower is it? Mickey Mickey: I'm going to have to ask my wife. I'm hopeless when it comes to remembering the names of most flowers (or most any garden plant, for that matter). It's the flower of some ground cover that grows between two enormous poplars in our back yard. This time of year it's pretty spectacular....but the blooms don't last long, and the rest of the year it's just green ground cover.  |
