Good afternoon,

Not really good weather for my macro photography this morning, to much sunlight and to much wind, but never the less i did my #wednesdaywalk in the garden armed with my camera.

First thing i spotted the Scarlet lily beetle ( Lilioceris lilii ) eating from my crown imperial ( Fritillaria imperialis)

Time to swap lenses , and switch to the Minolta MC Rokkor 28mm + 16mm extension tube to see if that could get the same result as the
Laowa 15mm F/4 Wide Angle Macro that is still have on my wishllist 😁

The old lens does have some nice flairs
