_RC1511_Macro of Pink Iris

Used the Nikon D3X with the Nikon Manual Focus Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.5 with the PN-11 Extension Tube, designed for it. I had considered the Nikon PB-5 or PB-4 Belows, but needed to take too much stuff out of the closet to get them. The PN-11 was handier and resides with my lenses.

Oh, it is hard laying on the ground, on my side, propped up by my elbow trying to frame and then focus, squinting with the Sun blazing from above right, to the point I used a bath towel over my head and camera to provide a bit of shade and contrast to see my subject well enough to focus.

Well, I tried to focus using the View Finder and tried a couple shots and went to check, on my computer's display, then remounted the camera on the tripod, changed focus, making almost imperceptible movements of the focusing ring/collar of the lens, and took three more photos. The fourth and fifth ones I used Live View.

I have read so much information that Live View is the way to go, but that just is not my experience. I always find that the focus is different and often less precise than what I see through the View Finder.

I do not know much about flowers. We are two weeks before the official start of Winter and these flowers came into bloom, which was a nice surprise.

P.S. 5,000°K, 100ISO, f/11.0, 1/80sec.
