Nice. I got to learn what you did to get this photo. Outdoors, yet the background is very dark/black.

mmm this is a lotus, right? this would make a very eye-catching book cover for Ulysses, or The Odyssey, or something. beautiful.

Nice shot -- do your tags mean that you used an extension tube with your 80-400? Do you lose stops or AF?
Nikographer [Jon] (59 months ago | reply)
Yes on the extension tube (12mm) and I don't think you lose any stops, and AF works if you're at the right zoom range...
