Today a headshot of ‘Butterfly Stone Crop’ blossoms. This plant is called in Austria also ‘Fette Henne’. It’s rather modest and unremarkable green during the year, but at the end of summer it starts blooming and transforms from the ‘ugly duckling’ into a ‘white swan’!
By the way, it’s also very attractive to bees and butterflies. Today I counted 15 bees on just one plant ;)
Enjoy, Andrew >:o)
As you may noticed it got silent over the last four weeks on lensblues.com. I’ve been too busy walking the camera so I couldn’t get usable material. But the good news is – I’m back again ;)
Lets start with some more macro-work. I think I got a usable macro-setup including the Olympus flash now. I’ll do some more testing and will post the information here some time soon.
Enjoy it, Andrew >:)
Got this danger looking guy sitting inside a blossom. Seems as if the wasp was waiting for some visitors to have lunch ;)
Enjoy, Andrew >:o)
I wasn’t able to find out the name of this beautiful flower yet so I call it the ‘Unknown Beauty’ ;)
If anybody has an idea about this plants name please let me know.
Regards, Andrew >:o)
My neighbor owns an little old apple tree which got just ONE fruit this year that looks like that. So I found this ugly poor thing has to be posted here.

Seems as if I’m on the right track with my macro-equipment. The flash used ‘off-camera’ seems to do most of the magic ;)
Ciao! Andrew >:o)
More macro-work and deep insight into a ‘False Sunflower’ blossom.
Regards, Andrew >:o)
I’m doing some macro-work at the moment based on the Oly 60mm 1:2.8 Macro and the Oly flash connected by a cable. Most of the time my results are terrible but sometimes I succeed ;)
Enjoy it, Andrew >:o)
