Here’s another photo taken with my Nikon F5 on Amber film with my close-up lens. I really, really like the sharpness of that top bud on the onion and the way the focus slowly fades. The hornet looks a little odd, but different film emulsions are tuned to give the user various results, and since this was one of the first rolls of film I shot, I may have been unaware of that. It’s still the kind of shot that makes me happy, from the flower on the left to the negative space on the right.

July 20, 2024. Nikon F5, Amber D100, 105mm Nikon macro lens, ISO 200, other exposure information unrecorded.
