I've been working on a series of macro images using some shells, these were for a comp with the subject of 'Earth, Wind & Fire' but were discounted by the competition secretary as they are more natural history! To give some perspective, the larger shell is about 20mm across.

Some more moss. This time I used my Raynox 150 on the Panny 100-300.

I had forgotten this thread. The Stay-at-Home orders have made me get back to my table top and make some dandelion images (along with half the known universe). 14-150 and Raynor 150. Mostly window light.

Having a bit of a practice in anticipation of getting my new macro lens next week (currently using a raynox and tubes)

These flowers are growing out of gaps between bricks in my garden wall.
