Shenandoah Flower Macro

RogersDA

Shot with Marc's extension tube on my 17-40 during Shenandoah. I had never used extension tubes before. I was trying to manually focus a la the MP-E65 ('cause i was shooting macro and was used to manual focus), then I heard the focus beep. Oh yeah - autofocus still works.

All ambient light with the 17-40 @ 40mm, extension tube, f/13, ISO 200, 1/320 sec.

Beautiful shot!! Was it really tall or did you have to get pretty low to frame it in front of the sky?

Thanks, Brian. Haven't been using the macro lens for a while for some reason. Need to get that back out and shoot something.

Thanks, Schmoo. If I remember correctly I was lying on the side of a hill looking up. A lot of shots came with some free Muench-bokeh. These were pretty much useless.

Wow David that's a very pretty shot
Too bad the MPE-65 isn't both AUTO & Manual, it's nice to hear that beep.

You've done a real nice job of this one .... Skippy
