Deep Cut Orchid Show

[jbwolffiv]

Yesterday I had the chance to stop in the Deep Cut Orchid Show in Holmdel, NJ with my wife. ; We walked around for about 45 minutes and I tried out my Kenko tubes for the first time. ; Boy, that sure makes focusing very interesting. ; I should have had my tripod (first lesson learned about my tubes). ; Here are the first two, let me know what you think.

i really like the symmetry of the first one. ; your tubes could lead to some VERY interesting results, esp. with common household items... ; post some more!

Thanks Michael! ; By my math you are batting 0.429!

Thanks Jeff and Tim. ; I plan on playing more with them, just have to play with the focus and I MUST use a tripod.

Let's face it, orchids really are alien beings just waiting for their chance to take over the Earth.

Excellent shots, John.
