Taken with my rental Laowa 60mm f/2.8 2x macro lens that I just purchased. Inexpensive and fun.
Rare sunlight. I'm ready for rain now.
Rented from www.Lensrentals.com. Used that company for years now. I have no connection with the distant company. FedEx works well.
Captured for Smile on Saturday theme: Optical Instruments.
HSoS everyone!
And for Color my World Daily (Pink or Purple Day on Saturday).
Background is one of my paint pouring creations.

This hands-free hanging magnifier belonged to my paternal grandparents. Van Waffle (Pappy) might have used it for looking at his stamp collection or Fern (Mimi) might have used it to read books and the newspaper. I felt closer to Pappy than my other three grandparents. He had been a self-made, successful business owner and a hard man by many accounts. I never saw that side of him. The year I was born he suffered a heart attack and retired. I guess it softened him. He had time for me. He remained active and did not have another heart attack until 20 years later when he died peacefully in his sleep, age 82. I've kept this magnifier since Mimi moved out of their house into a nursing home 30 years ago, knowing it would become useful someday. So far I have only used it two or three times to fix difficult knitting errors. Pappy would be puzzled to find me using it in fibrecraft, but he shared my enjoyment of gardening and storytelling.

Another photo from my travel to Budapest. A different capture from the ones i use to upload for changing.
Have a nice and happy day my friends :))**
Decided to take Usedfilm's GOYA idea to heart and stayed in Friday night to shoot. I also thought it might make an interesting addition to the most recent Strobist Challenge, not quite sure if it fits the bill or not though. 1 Sb-25 about 20 degrees off of camera center, up high and gelled to give a fluorescent tint (purposeful) at full power. A second sits below and is gridded at half power and throws a little light on the wall. Also about 40 different takes to get the the magnifying glass centered and focused properly.
NOTE: The powers that be at Flickr placed this photo into Flickr's "Explore" as one of the top 500 most interesting photos on a given day.

“The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn."
― T.H. White, The Once and Future King
My all-time, best-loved quote. With that in mind while still sheltering at home (nine months!), I rented a Lawoa 2.5X-5FX Ultra Macro lens. We already had a macro focus rail. Light is vital on a rainy day; brought in two studio lights in addition to three windows in my office studio. Magnified by three.
Hope for improvement. Comments not necessary until I improve, thank you.

my thoughts on this lens config:
