OM list: Here's some pix taken with my OM-2n. These are my 1st real attempts
at flower work. This is a mismash of 2 emails I sent to friends, but you
should be able to get the idea... Not mentioned was the fact that I scanned
these slides/negs with my Minolta
Dimage Scan Dual scanner & processed in photoshop. Hope you enjoy, and thanks
to those on this list who've helped me with equipment suggestions. I ended up
with both an Ultrapod II and a Bogen 3401 tripod (does both vertical &
horizontal center column) with a
3275 junior geared head. Both setups have proven themselves to be a great
asset to flower/macro work.

This I took at Ft. McKavett as the last rays of sunshine caught it. It
appears to be a Stemless Evening Primrose! (87k, 800x671 pixels)

p.s. For the photo geeks, this was a 1 second exposure using a cable release,
Olympus OM-2n camera on manual, Vivitar 90 macro, Kodak Royal Gold 100 print
film. The f-stop was around 11 or 16 for max depth of field with available
light. I set it up & focused
while laying on my stomach, using my tiny "Ultrapod II" tripod to balance the
very heavy lens.
