Leafwing Closeup, Pt. 2 - _TNY_8283

This is the one of the first shots from when I tried using my 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 two BTS shots of how insanely close you need to get to the subject, have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52158533169/ and here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52329566739/ - 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.
