Leafwing Closeup - _TNY_8284

This is the first shot I post which is taken using my new Laowa 15mm f/4 Macro lens. As the "15mm" part implies this is a wide angle macro lens and I'm hoping it will offer some new views compared to normal macro lenses.

 

For a BTS shot of how insanely close you need to get to the subject, have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52158533169/ - This is the resulting shot of that framing! Looking at the lens in that shot, I can tell that this shot was taken at f/11 and 0.4:1 magnification.

 

The subject here is an autumn leaf (Doleschallia bisaltide), also known as the leafwing. With the wings folded up it really look like a dead leaf, but for me, it just wanted to sit with the wings open like this.
