After Klaus's beautiful Peonies yesterday, I decided to go out and enjoy the big M-P Smile Thanks again Klaus!
Most of them are no real macros. All hand held, taken between f2-5.6.

Thank you Attila, I'm also amazed by the colors and the bokeh, something I did not expect. It was my intention to show.

Very nice! I especially like the leaves: 8, 9 and 15, really unusual and fresh perspective.

I think it's a phoenix, perhaps a phoenix dactylifera, a date palm. I'm not sure.
It's more than 60 years old, and the one of my favourite subject, especially the dates Smile
Perhaps I will post a palm dedicated thread later Smile

the dates, at the end of summer Planar 1.7/50

the trunk, Distagon 4/18

Ah, Ok
I suppose this is not something I can grow in the northwest Sad
I love the look of this fruit. It reminds me of a local seaweed we have here.

The house here dose have a sunroom in which I can keep healthy during the winter.

Banana
Plumeria
Coffee
a couple variety of figs (my favorite)
some smaller palms
etc. .........subtropicals

at summer they all go outside.
This guy looks like he may only push leaves here and never fruit if he can live at all.

Thank you Klaus, Patrickh, Horvlas and Mug! Wink

I really love this lens.
After browsing the Raws again yesterday, I've found something interesting/scary.
There was a bee, sitting/hanging on a flower, all the time. I was very pleased, because usually they are very busy, flying from blossom to blossom. This one not. I had all the time to focus and take the picture.



Later, at 100% magnification, I saw what happened:



Ugly white spider killed this busy guy just in action. Makro-Planar helped to crack the case.

You've really got the hang of that - excellent set and that CSI shot is superb. Smile

Sandy.... F A N T A S T I C !!!!!!
How is that these two photos don't have a thread on their own?
Please make one!

Thanks.

The white spider scared the hell out of me, how on earth did she kill this busy guy in a fraction of a second? Shocked

I'll keep you informed about further investigations.

I'm late to the thread! These are fantastic images. Each one of them has its own unique structure. Wonderful work indeed. Shocked

That is for sure! Fascinating, thrilling.
I don't have a problem with spiders, as long as they are smaller than my hand. Wink
Been bitten by a spider, three years ago. That "little" bugger was sleeping in my trousers. It hurt bad, but nothing happened - at least i think. Rolling Eyes
