Twinkle twinkle my little favourite star

Last Saturday, I felt incredibly frustrated, I really needed to photograph!
The renovation of my house + a few other projects have done that I had neither the time nor the energy to do what I want. This has now been going on since last October.
To make a long and tedious story short, and quickly get in on the positive things I discovered, was that I was in such a creative frustration that I took my Hassie and charged on several long extension tubes after another, more than I ever used together , went out on my lawn, because it was extremely hot here in Sweden for a few days so I did not want to go away somewhere to photograph. I forgot the light meter inside the house, thinking that Sunny 16 will have to do …..
It was blowing a little, and with a depth of field of one millimeter so-so, I had very little hope for good images, just a strong feeling that I MUST do this.

Hasselblad 500cm+100/3,5
Ext tubes 56+55+32+16
Ilford HP5+
Ilford DD-X 1:4

So I did!

And I’m very glad I did!

I hope you like it too!

wonderful series of DOF, I don’t like flowers but in Monochrome they often work, yours are not just working the work very well. Nice you did this and showed it here…

Enjoy the weekend,
Vinc

Wonderful, Marie! Extension tubes are on my (increasingly short) list of things to buy, too.

  Thanks Urban!
  Yes, they definitely are a ‘must have’, and they’re not so expensive either…. 😉

    Exactly. So much cheaper than a dedicated macro lens.

      Absolutely! And Hasselblad’s dedicated macro lens doesn’t have close enough focusing distance, so if you have the tubes, you don’t need the macro lens! 😁
