You ever have one of those 5-10 minute stretches where you feel like you'e really got something going on photographically, where with every other breath you think, "ooh, here's another thing I can try!"? This was one of those times. With the macro lenses and the sunflower in full bloom, a whole new world of creative possibilities opened. There are plenty of shots of sunflowers, of course, but most are the iconic shots - a field of them, or just one its full glory. Most don't get past that, but the macros opened up a new world.

And to come back inside, load up the photos, and see that you've got some good ones....woot!

This was taken with the Tamron 90mm F2.8 Macro fro Pentax K-mount. It's a very nice lens, and on M43 it's a 180mm F2.8 with decent DOF. Wow.
