Gerber daisy - a photo on Flickriver

Gerber daisy

This is shot using the +10 close-up filter I use with the Lensbaby. I hold it by hand over the lens of the SX-70. A bit tricky, but the results are worth it. The +4 might make flowers a bit more recognizable, as this seems a bit abstract.

As it turns out, I was able to find a couple of 5-packs of 600 film at another local Costco yesterday. I'm good for a while. I really hope Fuji or Ilford picks up the integral license. And I hope the train wreck that is my SX-70 actually makes it through my stash of 600 film! Ha!

As expected, the stands and background paper arrived yesterday. Sturdy, well built and the stands came with a carrying case. Nice. Now all I need to do is enlist a few folk to sit for me. I bought two rolls of background paper, one black and one white. I'm thinking that a little experimentation with fabric and color for backgrounds is in my future.

Can I take your portrait? Let me know, we'll set it up. Seriously.
