Macro feathers and things



Loving experimenting with holding my lens on backwards

These was with my 50mm prime lens



 Put my 200mm lens on backwards for these






These 2 pics are of those soft fluffy parts on the bottom of the feather






Managed to get close enough to a horse for this one
