              Weither on not that was a challenge, Bob, I took it as, um, encouragement to also get out with adapted Cannon FD 50mm macro 3.5, but with 10mm M43 extension.

              Lowly dandelion in yard. (Wife was in house laughing at me trying to follow around the little bee.).

              Would make shadow if I tried to get in better position, so a portion of the flower exceeded the available DOF.


              Here is flowering plant of some sort in woodlot behind yard. Looks like maybe suffered a bit in one of the three frost/freeze warning nights recently.
              About dime size.

                  So I put my Canon FD 50mm macro 3.5 and 10mm M43 extension on my GX1, just like yours, and got this...

                  I think this is an interesting setup, and worth trying again.

                    Two stops up from wide, so f/8.

                    >>later note: Quess I dont really know that is 2 stops up, is two of the printed numbers on the ring (3.5 then 5.6 then 8, is 4 clicks). I should check into that. SOmething quite basic that I may not fully understand.

                    Impressive.
                    So same equipment as I am using. And more impressive results.
                    After much analysis and evaluation, I conclude that proves that you have better flowers there. har har har

                    An other fun part of this hobby. A mixture of fun and frustration.
                    Speaking of frustration, I have a basketcase motorcycle to attend to.

                        Saw walnuts like these under pine tress the other day, when was dry and full sun, and tried to get some interesting shots. Today is rainy and heavy overcast. The nut being wett, and the difuse light really helped to show the texture of the gnaw marks and the internals and all....
                        Maybe I should rotate the image, so are not distracted by the face-like appearance.

                          Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.
