Emerging flower bud

Post by Cyclops »

My Christmas Cactus is finally budding up, and i decided I'd bring it downtairs to get some macros.
Man this was hard to get! Had to use the camera phone as a light source, with a tissue over it to diffuse it a little, use mirror lock up and self timer for a 25 and 30 second exposure repsectively!

Macro is fun but frustrating-I so need a ring light!
Or even a flash gun that works!
