Rhodendendron, closer up

The weather has been a bit to wet to go out. So for the first time I played a bit around
with a bellow, I got last year.

Because it was one of the things I bought just before dropping down a flight of stairs last year,
(broke my tibia just above the ankle) I already had a lot of fun dismantling it and straightening the screws that where bend.

All shots are with the bellows + 50mm f1.7 except the starter that was
with a tamron18-200.

So a quick shot of the subject


Then going in a bit closser (4 focus blended images)


another angle (3 focus blended images)


and as close as possible (2 focus blended images)


The last one was with a flash and the bellows completely extended (15cm), about a 3:1 macro.
