Pollen

Can we get a pollen gallery going? :wink I've seen a few shots here with amazing pollen inclusion and I'd love to see more. Here's my best effort:

Very cool shot Japers..

Excellent detail with the pollen there. MPE-65?

Thank you!

Nope. No MP-E. Not yet.. My set-up for this shot was:

- Pentax K2000
- Makinon 2x Teleconverter
- Sigma 50mm Macro Lens
- Hoya +7 Diopter Stack
- Cobra Macro Flash
- 1/160, f11, ISO 100

Ahh, thanks for the info. Excellent result from the setup

Thanks! DOF is razor thin, so it takes a lot of camera movement to find the right spot, but every now and then I get lucky.

Thanks Brian! Yeah, he sure loved that pollen.. I couldn't shoot it on the flower itself, had to wait for him to stop and clean to approach for a shot..

Great shots! Love the purple in the 1st.
