First Contact - a photo on Flickriver

First Contact

Shot taken for Saturday Self Challenge 27/03/2021 -- Macro .
Well time to dust off the Sigma 105 and get down to some close work , have tried a number of things from flowers to spiders ( checkout the spider in the first comment box ! ) but came back to a first idea using the 70 -300 mm lens -- not on the camera but in front of it !! So this is my shot for the challenge involving some contacts of mine , the contacts on the base of the lens passing info back and fourth between the lens and the camera and in this shot they are Canon Contacts . The camera people in their wisdom make all the mounts for lens to camera so that Nikon will not fit Pentax that will not fit Canon and so on !!
I did get in a bit closer on a couple of shots but that was to much more like abstract !!
