Dandelion

Kiev 60 Arsat 45mm f3.5 20mm extension tube Fujifilm Pro 400H Arista C-41 - Every suburban lawn manicurists nightmare, a weed with an airborne delivery system. Hundreds of parachute equipment weed babies waiting to take to the wind. That said, these dreaded lawn demons are very photogenic.

Cactus Flower and Honey Bee exposure no. 3

Kiev 60 Arsat 80mm f2.8 Hoya +4 Close-Up Lens FujiFilm Pro 400H Arista C-41 - A productive weekend, the Cactus Flowers were still blooming Saturday and the bees love them. Using the Arsat 80mm with a +4 close-up lens had me a little closer to the stingers than I would have liked, but it was worth it. Trying to pick the flower the bees would land on was a little tricky. The bees always seemed to avoid the one I was hovering over with the bulky Kiev. Finally I had to move in after the landed, find the focus and pull the trigger. I got more that I missed, so all and all, a productive day.

Flying Flower

Kiev 60 Arsat 80mm f2.8 Hoya +1 close up lens D-76 Stock - Nothing special, just and attractive shot of a flower. The leaves seem like wings, it almost appears to be flying

Kiev 60 Arsat 80 2.8 Hoya +1 Close-Up Lens FUJIFILM NPH 120 I have probably developed over 100,000 rolls of color film for myself and others over the years, but always in leader transport or some other form of automated processor. This roll is my color film developed by hand at home. I used Arista C-41 Liquid Color Negative Developing available here Free Style Photo and Photo-Therm Constant Temperature Bath to maintain the required temperature.
