I am getting somewhat tired of the winter here in Germany. It's not nice. No real snow, but not warm. No sun. Bad.
And while I am still sorting to my all my pictures from the recent US trip, I have decided upon just posting a summer picture. Very simple composition wise, I still just like to look at it.
When taking it, I went for backlighting at sunrise, and chose the lens combination I have giving me the shortest depth of field to single out that single clover flower: my 70-200/2.8 plus the 1.4x teleconverter at the shortest possible distance. The choice for this specific flower was of course the spider web. It took me some time to get the right placement in order to have both (plus one) threads still being visible, not going out of focus too fast.
I read somewhere recently that you can put an extension tube between a macro lens and a teleconverter. Well you can, and although it's not exactly crisp, it works after a fashion. I reckon the magnification here is about 4x. (60mm EF-S, 36mm tube, 2x Sigma APO converter). It might be worth pursuing a bit more.
