2021 027-365 Through the Bathroom Window (Explored)
I have been looking at this tiny clump of moss on the garage roof adjoining our bathroom, and wondering whether it would look good photographed, usually while brushing my teeth!
The window only opens a few inches as it hits the guttering, so I had to shoot through double glazing. This needed a quick clean both sides (outside achieved by squeezing my arm through the few inches of gap) and I used my 12mm extension tube on my 100-400 lens. In fact I could have saved myself a lot of effort and used my macro lens, but I was already setting up. The extension tube reduced the minimum focussing distance from the 1.8metres to something much shorter.
Depth of field was an issue, so four hand-held (well, resting on the windowframe) frames focus-stacked in PS.
Winter close up for the camera club Challenge 2021
