The Joy of Macro
I'm headed out for a few days, and need something to carry my new camera in. My wife wants to make me something, so I didn't want to buy a new one. Temporarily repurposing the one that is holding my 35mm gear seems a better bet.
As I was handling it, though, I was seized with an impulse. I took my 200mm macro-focus lens, adapted it and carefully tried it on the digital camera. Then I went out into the yard, and although the light at 10:30 AM is not beautiful, the brightness helped, as I don't yet have a full-sized tripod. So, although the colors are slightly washed out by the intensity of the sunlight, it's still a reasonably nice picture:
