Some very neat bug has been laying eggs on one of my tomato plants.
Harder to photograph than I thought - focus was tricky.
I chose a small aperture, with greater DoF to give a bit of focus leeway, the trade off being a slow shutter speed on my disgracefully el crappo tripod (which I reckon, oscillates with the rotation of the moon or something  . )
Nevertheless, the eggs are fascinating! And I am enjoying my new lens.
Aperture f32
Shutter 0.625 sec
Daylight with a bit of white card fill from the right
Sweet bite tomato

Interesting shot, Greg. The eggs look like chromed plastic balls.
Too bad about your el crappo tripod. Next you'll be spend a couple thousand on a fancy carbon fibre pod and ball head.

Thanks everyone.
Yes Birdy, I see a tripod on the horizon, but that will need to wait a while.
Kerry, you ought to see the tripod collection Birddog has - more tricky heads and carbon fibre legs etc than you can poke a stick at. I am now seeing why a quality tripod setup is worthwhile.
thaddeus, no sign of the bug, it laid and left.
MHD, your lust is well placed, it is a nice lens
leek - worth checking it out.
Chris, how do you spot the head photographer? Dirty knees.
