15mm LAOWA Wide Angle macro series (Long set!)

I took the 15mm lens out today to the nearby woodlands, sadly a lot of felling of trees has been done and a lot of the glory has been lost. Still, I took a few anyway!

Set 1: Lesser celandine and Wood anemones:

Set 2:

New growth and bluebells:

Set 3:

Brown lacewing on the ground:

Very good. I have a similar wide angle macro (the Opteka lens). They are fun to use, but not easy!

Cheers Mark, it is very niche and a challenge to boot.

Great series Paul.

Great series Paul.

Thanks Lester.

It *is* an interesting lens to use. Between the de-clicked aperture ring and the focus ring being right next to each other (and of course, all manual) it could be tricky to use. On the other hand, the DOF is *so* deep that it's very forgiving.

Nice shots Paul!

Cheers. It's fun but awkward, if you see what I mean...

@Paul Iddon: I think your watermark is interesting (in a good way)! The border stroke sets it off and what you've done with the margins gives it a nice and unique look.
