Nice images, Ronny, especially the first one of your last post above. Love how well the colors red and yellow complement one other. And also nice pp'ing.

Well, flowers are included.. (actually it was intended as main subject, then it sorta diversed). Hope its ok.
Slightly "tame" version to what I usually produce, but I think it works too.

I am only posting on this page to keep myself humble and to acknowledge I have such a long way to go. I hope my images will serve as calming, unexciting pause for your exhausted senses. I can't believe how good this thread is. I just wish you would all explain your various techniques. I don't have a clue how you all do what you do. Flowers have to be one of the most challenging things in the world to shoot. All of these images are great! And Ronny, you are totally in your own space. I have never seen anything like your work!

I think you are doing fine. Btw. NEX-5N thanks to its color matrix is very good camera for taking flower pics. Much better than I have for example..

How you guys can handhold (and get sharp images) with tube-extended 135mm is beyond me. You must have hands as rock-solid-and-stable as bomb-defusing specialists!

180mm with tube... works perfekt with tubes (shooting 99.9% handheld)
On Nikon 180 ED ai-s is focusing distance is around 1.8m so there is almost too much for this kind of pictures ..I think ..If you don't have D800 ..as you can crop a lot with ;-)

You folks mind if I jump in here? for years I have shot with various Canons. I recently bought into the Fuji X system and found a older non ai Nikkor 55mm macro on the cheep. I have been using it for flower pics this year. I attach it using a Metabones adapter(not a speed booster) it has a nice tripod foot on it. Anyway the here is a ISO 1600 shot either f11 or 8 did not record it, but took shots at both apertures.
I am going to save up & buy a Nikon mount 100/2 Makro Planar to use with this system

Lovely shot, WT! And noise is well controlled at ISO 1600. I am just not sure that I would have used such a small aperture and high ISO, because I wouldn't have minded blurring the background a bit more.
Ronny, I admire your ablity to use a 135mm, and you show me a 180mm shot! Getting this stability and composition from a 1,80m mfd is awesome. But, just this once, I will dare to say something. I see a purple/magenta trace on the white petals, which are not strictly white to my eye. Is that intentional, in order to keep the wonderfully warm tone?

It is CA .. couldnot remove everything before I put on my macro-editing
so that change probably a little color when I run the spit-toning with
really have not thought about it until you mentioned it... but it appears, unfortunately
Thanks for the feedback
I may be a little more accurate .. spec of white blommer when I edit
