and a very tight crop, just for fun: http://www.neovenator.com/special/flower_detail.html I shot this with my MX while my D was out for repair. The flower itself is no more than an inch and a half across, petal tip to petal tip. To get this shot, I used a Sigma 28-80 macro lens at 1:2 macro (kit lens, but surprisingly good), three extension tubes, and an old Pentax Bellows (extended almost all the way out). The tiniest motion of the flower would knock it out of the frame, or at least out of focus, and a slight breeze kept coming and going while I was shooting. It was quite a challenge to get this, but a lot of fun, too. I think I was shooting Fuji Sensia 200, but it could have been Kodak E100, I'm just not sure.

Yes, I have a great deal of trouble photographing flowers myself because of wind. Marnie aka Doe
