Yesterday my wife received some flowers from her co-workers today i decide to play with them with the helios -44 58mm lens and my Laowa 25mm ultra macro 2.5-5x magnification .
Let's start with a soft pink rose , do you see those small purple flowers in the top right corner of the photo ?
Well these are those small purple flowers photographed with 2.5 magnification
Purple Eustoma grandiflorum / Lisianthus with yellow pistil
Those same flower pistil at 2.5 magnification
A red Gerbera flower although the center looks black . .
You can see here with the 2.5 magnification that it's actualy dark red, and that it is build up of multiple tiny flowers.
We all know this flower a rose and that it has thorns but ,
