 Taken with my new Nikon SB-21 ring flash (with AS-14 controller)... it's from the 1970's and only cost me $39 on ebay =)

Used my trusty old Nikon 55mm macro lens with three extension tubes to get in nice and close... I was going to break out the bellowes for this one, but this is close enough... =)

Hey stop it now !
It takes me so much time to make my place in the 55mm f/3.5 page and you still want to be alone ! :D
Ok I have to admit this is a really nice shot. I can't believe it's still sharp with three extension tubes. Good to know ;)
