Definitely the first one!

#4 is my favourite - once again, I prefer the less defined ones.

DSTE are good, or Energiser (if you can find them).

I hope Santa brings you all you want and good health to enjoy it - Happy Christmas everyone.

Wizard experimentation - whether with christmas lights or christmas substances - super stuff !

If it has a flippy screen I will be interested. If not, they can keep it.

Ow! That does look cold. And the hawthorn berries are lovely.

These are quite wonderful - especially the less clearly defined ones which could be imagined on the wall of a high end gallery (where you are afraid to ask the prices).

And I thought it was just me going round the bend ! Thank you for your company on the way. I fear that's it for now as it is fast drying out.

I put a shot of some leaf stems sticking up from a puddle recently. The panel view was that it needed some more DoF to include nearby stems. The original shot was with a PLM 55-300 at 300mm. These have been taken with a TTArtizan 100mm on tubes and with a standard Pentax 100mm macro lens, all on a K1.

1 This one, hopefully, addresses the earlier comments. (I missed the amazing reflection in the original!).

It's certainly a good way of getting backache!
