Tiny wildflower - 4 perspectives, 4 lenses

Post by simplejoy »

I was looking for something to photograph recently and found a small wildflower apparently called "herb Robert". The flower is around 15 mm fully opened and 3-4 mm closed.

Because I had never looked at it up close before (and I don't know a lot about flowers in general) I was really fascinated by the details it revealed under closer inspection. While I took a couple more, here are four different shots with four different lenses:

Noritsu 71-111 mm f/4.5-5.6 (varifocal minilab lens)

Kodak Ektamat G 17.6 mm (no idea what this lens is for) (focus stack of around 20 images)

Fine for fans of flowery fangs? by simple.joy, on Flickr

The last lens clearly isn't ideal for that type of magnification, so I still have to figure out where it does better.
