One of many in my yard. I used an extension tube; first time ever.
However, I must shoot at four stops less than normal exposure. I start at minus two, then go to bracket mode to do + / - two again. Seems like a waste. But maybe it's a limitation in bright light. If anyone has ideas to get the exposure more normal, please let me know.
