Macro

Over the past couple of weeks I've been making more of an effort to use my macro lens, the weather has helped as has the abundance of subject matter.

All of these photos are naturally lit, getting back in to macro photography has reminded me that use of a mounted off camera flash is useful, so I will get that hooked back up again hopefully in time for my next trip out.

In an effort to get 'closer' to the subject, I attached an old 2x teleconverter to my macro lens. Essentially this means that instead of the 1:1 zoom (i.e. life size) magnification my lens is capable of, I could get 2:1 magnification (2x life size).

Not easy given that it was my first attempt, the light was poor and it was a little windy. But here is one of the few 'keepers'.
