Today in the garden

[GardenersHelper]

After spending much of the day trying (and failing) to get rid of all the dust from the sensor and the 8 glass surfaces in my current setup, I captured these hand-held in our garden this afternoon using a Sony A7ii with two 2X teleconverters and a Laowa 100mm 2X macro lens, and a Venus Optics KX800 twin flash.

The raw files were processed with a preset in PhotoLab, with image-specific adjustments (and dust spotting ) in Lightroom and output sharpening and noise reduction in DeNoise AI.

There are 1300 pixel high versions of these images in this album at Flickr.

Thanks Alf. I'm still very much in the experimental stage, particularly as to what apertures to use. More practice needed!

Incredible shots.

Thanks Chris.

I absolutely love macro photography!

Me too. Be aware though that it can be a bit addictive. I think I'm rather too much caught up in it just at the moment. Time to ease off a bit I suspect.
