Golden Balls of pollen
Hello

This is a super close-up shot of a daisy.

I used a combonation of all three of my Kenko extension tubes with my Canon EF1002.8 macro lens.

After you have viewed this shot.Go out and find a daisy, so you can see just how close this is.

20D
EF1002.8 macro lens
All three 12mm/20mm/36mm Kenko extension tubes
ISO 100
0.6 @ f16
Expo comp -1/3

C & C welcome

Thanks for looking and for your comments :smile:

Alan - I'm shocked you didn't go for one of your focus stacks on this - you've knackered yourself now by doing so many of them - any shots by you with the slightest bit of OoF in the subject are just weird :biggrin: :biggrin:

Awesome mag Alan :toast:
