"Pink" and "Pink Mist" - Two Photos

Hikin' Mike

This is my first "macro". I recently bought a 55mm f/1.8 and a set of Kenko Extension Tubes and I wanted to try them out. The day was perfect...no wind and had lots of clouds. For the second photo I sprayed a little water to try it out. As for how I sprayed it...I had a bottle of water because I was thirsty. I took a drink and then sprayed/misted the flower! I was by myself and couldn't get a bottle mister, so I had to improvise... :rofl

Hahaha you sprayed it with your mouth now thats original !
Yup sometimes you just have to use the resources available to you.

Those Kenko Tubes are well worth the money,
they come in handy time after time, they're light and easy to use.

Your Pink Flower shots look beautiful, with and without the spit mixture
Nicely framed ....... Skippy
