color meditation: green - a photo on Flickriver

            Some more semi-abstract vintage budget macro photographs from the early days. 

Who would have thought that I'll come to cherish some of my old stuff that much, now that I have way more elaborate gear and methods available. This mini-series is mostly for the enjoyment of color, you should try it, it's really simple (once the judging mind is out of the way) 😋

If you find spots from dust on the sensor or on/in the lens, you're welcome to keep em. Generally I would say that dust inclusions, which every used lens has, basically never show up in photos due to lights capacity to bend around things, but I'm not so sure that's necessarily the case with all this lens reverse mount business and stacking of extension tubes etc.!? 
Once, in my early experiments, I was able to bring the focus plane inside a (zoom) lens, that was fun, and weird.
