It's a Wide Angle, it's a Macro, it's 2,

2 lenses in one! Just a fun test shot from my newly arrived Tokina 12-14 f.4. I bounced a little flash from my SB800 into a piece of copy paper to help light it better. Shot it 1 handed! :shock: Looks like one on Ednaz' efforts (to some small degree). PS, I just got this Gerberra in a 4 in pot Sat afternoon, so it' hasn't grown any.

Halo schmalo, those are the yellow edges!

I swear, this flower has yellow edges. I did hit it with much sharpening at all! I cropped it 50%, reduced it's size by 50%, then hit it with Fred Miranda's Nik CS Sharpener @Level 1!

 

Like this, Gordon?

Boy, that IS better, thanks!

 

If it makes you feel any better Frank,

I did take several shots, before I got one I liked. :wink: And, man, is that 2X with it's RRS L bracket, the SB800, and lens heavy when you're shooting with one lousy hand! I could'a used a tripod, believe me!
