As I made the rounds this evening checking out my early season wildflower hotspots, I came across this first-of-the-season Spring Beauty just starting to bloom.
All I had with me was my 30D and 70-200 f/2.8. I put a 500D close-up lens/filter on the 70-200 and got down in the dirt and mud from yesterday's rain and shot handheld. These are very tiny flowers by the way.
I would have liked a bit more dof but didn't want to stop down any further because of handholding. I could have kicked up the ISO but was concerned about noise.
