Karl: Its funny I took something like 296 shots to get these 5 Not that they were all bad. It could have been that by shot 200 I was tired of PP. I had though having a tripod this time would make a huge difference. I dont think it did. I got more keepers the first time handheld with AI Servo on. My buddy who was shooting with me using a 70-200 was poking fun at my style wishing me good luck getting something in focus. The 85L is hard enough wide open at \"normal\" focus distances...its really crazy with one 25mm tube on and I am considering trying 2. My thought was that when it works it works like nothing else
Shot #2 - I had been in that \"succulent\" room many times and tried to come out with something with the leaves. I took that shot and somehow knew it was going to work.
Shot #3 - I probably have that \"extra leaf\" on the cropping floor so to speak...
Here\'s another one from the cactus area:
