Life has been busy and chaotic. How many arts organizations will not survive the economic chaos?
I don\'t know. But I\'m here and I needed a diversion, so decided to take a stab at the WA.
This small flower was swaying randomly in the breeze, and the strange profusion of inner petals and reproductive parts was intriguing.
I decided to get very close. Because I am not a full time macro nut, I had to make use of a very cheap old set up. After mounting an 85 mm on the camera, I used a double-threaded reversing adapter to attach the front threads of a 50 mm to the front of the 85. Result: 1.7x life size on sensor.
My feeling right now (shot this a couple of hours ago) is that there\'s just enough detail and clarity to make the prevailing softness effective. I don\'t know. Comments welcomed.
