Very small pink flower.

[Basket Case]

Saw this little thing growing out through a crack in my patio. Couldn't have been much more than a centimetre in diameter:

Taken with a 70-200mm Nikkor with a Nifty Fifty Zuiko reversed on the end and attached via self-amalgamating tape. Tiny tiny depth of field.

Beautiful picture but i would prefer the whole flower in focus, the dof is a little too shallow for me

 

[billybob99]

Agree with tina lovely colours but dof is tiny and taken straight on would like to see all in focus

Yeah, my botched setup gives ridiculously low DOF, about 2mm at best! Although as it was hand-held outdoors with a little breeze, I was quite pleased that I got the stamen in focus.

May well invest in a proper macro lens in the future.

This is a great example if ya shoot HH. I shoot HH macro everyday and with all of the variables besides being hand held, a fantastic image it is when all comes together. 2mm(or less) is ever so slight a slice. This is a complete picture , top to bottom outside in. It is a front and back cover of a hardcover book and your eye in this case, reads the pic front to back. More stars for capturing the iridesance(sp?) And symmetry. Bravo.
