This macro shows the little pollen particles of this flower that only opens when sun comes down

This plant is very common in a lot of south american gardens, is also known as Four o clock or marvel of peru.

I used macro tubes (all 3 segments) and a 50mm lens.

I took this Orchidaceae while playing with my new speedlight and the macro tube. In this case I used only 1 segment of the tube since I wanted to capture the main attraction of the flower without loosing deep of field. Apperture value was not automatically recorder within EXIF because the macro tubes. I used 11f in manual mode with a 50mm lens.

Tomé esta orquídea mientras practicaba con mi nuevo flash y un tubo macro. En este caso usé sólo un segmento del tubo ya que quería sacar la parte más atractiva sin perder profundidad de campo. No sale la apertura grabada en el EXIF por el tubo macro. Usé 11f en modo manual con un lente de 50mm

Ok, here I am again trying the macro tubes. This time I closed the aperture as much as I could having in mind the available light and the light from a 500w lamp.

This flower has less than 8 mm in diameter

I've to shot more than 10 shots from this angle in order to get a decent shot. Even though I liked it, I'm not 100% satisfied with it.
