>>3317169Very true. Though, with the right setup, it looks a lot better. This for instance is the same 500mm mirror lens using 2x teleconverter with 68mm of extension tubes. Distance is about as far as the other image, but the wind was whipping the flower around. The biggest difference for this photo is the background. It is smooth and that helps remove a lot of the trashy business of noise you can see in
>>3314910 even though the ISO is higher in this one. A little post processing could go a long way with it.
>>3317173I like this one. Good placement and the color contrast with the flower and the sea of green around it is what sells it to me. What lens is it?
