A 3x macro of a little Sedum plant I bought yesterday.
The florist on our high street recently closed down, and the shop was rapidly taken over and reopened, again as a florist, by new people. I spotted they had a few trays of these Sedums out the front, and fancied taking one home.
I've added a behind-the-scenes photo today (after the jump). I ended up using quite the contrivance to shoot this, with the centre column of the tripod inverted, and the mount ring of the lens rotated upwards, joined by the WeMacro rail.
I also had two Godox MF12s mounted to the front of the lens via a special 3D printed adapter - necessary because Canon evidently saw unfit to include a filter thread on the front of this lens for some inexplicable reason.
All this stuff left no room for the flash transmitter to mount to the Hotshoe, so I had to connect it via an extension cable, which was not entirely free of issues.
Note to self: Consider priorities in future when purchasing plants. It transpires that getting two independently-minded miniature Schnauzers across the road while holding a potted plant is not guaranteed to be a straightforward undertaking!
