Hydrangea Leaf Structure

This macro shot was taken with a Nikkor 18-200mm VR lens coupled with a Quantaray + 3 magnifying filter. I obtained the magnifying filter from the Ritz/Wolf camera website for around $25.

 

The vibration reduction (VR) eliminates most of the shake during a handheld shot and the magnifying filter gives a much closer view of the cell structure.....

 

One caveat - the magnifying filter has a very limited depth of field and can be tricky when trying to get the correct focal point. I had to take a half dozen shots to get one that worked.
