Subject: [Leica] IMG: Macro Images

After a comment yesterday that my Friday Plant image contained some 
possible macro subjects, I placed the Leica Elmarit-R 60 Macro lens, 
complete with its extender, on the Fuji X-E1.  Using this rig hand-held 
can be a real challenge, and the wind made my intended leaf patterns 
impossible to photograph.  I did get a macro image of the Nandina 
berries that I liked.  Please ignore the lens focal length and aperture 
data in the EXIF data.  I forgot to reset the camera.

Just to prove I could get a macro image, I placed the rig on a tripod, 
with a cable release, and looked around for a suitable subject.  This 
mint from a local drive-in seemed to be appropriate.  This is a full 
frame image of the mint, by kitchen lighting.  I thought it looked 
pretty good.
