From the garden

I've been spending some time crawling around the bushes (literally) in moms garden. These are some of the macros I've been able to get. Mostly taken ~20 cm from the subject with fill flash.

Mikro Nikkor 60mm

Not sure which one of these is better The first kinda has more "precise" focus but the second is imo more fluffy and cute

Quote from Grin

How much photoshop did you use to make the soft-focus parts look like that.. I mean those don't seem right.

I blurred the focal plane where spider parts weren't included. So that's mainly sand in the foreground. Didn't touch the background bokeh.

A couple new ones to the collection now that Mapcore is up again.
