The leaves of a diminutive variety of Aloe plant, seen close up. f/4, 1/180 sec. ISO 100.I managed to make this shot work to my statisfaction first time, which is surprising considering the exposure and flash were all manual. I also tried the same M42 lens I was using before, but with an extra 16mm extension ring - so that compounds the unpredictability of exposure. I'm sure it's partly down to luck, but I know that I'm getting better at estimating the correct exposure with the particular setup I am using.
The JPEG image wasn't quite perfect stright out of the camera. It was just a bit soft on the focus details, so I added a some sharpening and +5 contrast.
