 Been gone a long time. Want back in.
I bought an old Pentax K20 on ebay because my K50 and K70 both have the dang aperture failure and I'm too poor to fix them right now. Shot this with another ebay buy, an old Tamrom 500MM in macro mode, with on camera flash.
This little flower, a Pink Evening Primrose, is about an inch and a half wide.

Art -- You probably don't remember me. It's been a while. I'm the guy with the Peep Portfolio. Life got busy and photography slipped away for a long while. But now, thanks to ebay, I'm going to try to get back. This wasn't my best effort. You were right, on camera flash. Mostly I was playing around with the weird new (to me) Tamron 500mm mirrored lens with a macro setting. It a little too sharp too. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
