Taken with a Raynox 150
This lens snaps on on any lens up to a filter size of 67 mm. I had It in front of my old Sigma 105 mm macro lens. It allows you to get much closer then the native lens. I have used it on most of my lenses. But since you are so close only manual focus is practical. The depth of field is also very shallow. This picture is actually a focus stack of 3 pictures taken at different focus point then merged in Photoshop.
Looking forward to enjoying the birds and gorgeous reflections on those beautiful, cold north Florida mornings at St. Marks NWR.
Digiscoped with a Panasonic GH4 + 20mm f/1.7, Digidapter and Swarovski STX85 using manual focus.

Manually focussed, because the SIGMA Macro lens 150mm/f2.8 APO DG HSM (no OS!) did not work with the Nikon FTZ adapter on the Z50.
Perhaps there is a firmware update available from SIGMA?

It took me about eight months to decide how to post process this photo. It was truly spectacular scenery in person, at blue hour just when it was about to get very dark. It was also below freezing and super slippery which made the whole experience quite arduous. Yet the RAW long exposure simply did not capture the mood.
I played a lot with different layers and effects in Photoshop and this is the final result. That's how I remember it today.
Interesting note that the image is level. It is most of the trees that are leaning one way as a result of winds over time.

Thank you very much for all the views, kind comments and faves.

Another image I took yesterday during a macro shoot at Hunter Botanic Gardens (Heatherbrae, NSW; Australia) with good mate and fellow flickr tog Joe Micallef (aka Joey 'Nature Togger').
This inquisitive butcher bird took a liking to Joes gear as a perch while we were sitting having a break and a cuppa - too good an opportunity not to capture an image or two!
Thanks Joe for the props!!
Thanks to you too for any comments, views or favorites!
The image is a bit "noisy" as I failed to reset the f stop from when I'd been shooting a frog - duh!!
Have a fantastic day and weekend folks!!

A photo I took here in Wädenswil, when I was trying out my new manual focus TTartisan 35 mm lens. This is part of the church and I liked how the shadow looked like it was trying to reach the solid lines as a metaphor of the conflict between the build world and the environment.

After departing Kerry Cliffs, we continued along the Skellig Ring with a climb up a hill and a switchback descent on a road far too narrow at most places for two cars to pass. As we approached St. Finan's Bay, we just had to stop. It is a gorgeous beach, and on this sunny day, we couldn't resist getting out of the car and walking around a bit. Before leaving, we had a quick lunch at a little place called Driftwood Surf Cafe.
