Chive flower

The above photos were taken using a close up conversion lens which I recently purchased. I had wanted to buy a 100m Macro but it was too expensive for my current level.

For my current needs the close conversion seemed adequate.

It has an adaptor that fits on my 50mm 1.8 lens with the close up lens attached to the adaptor.

I should of used a tripod as recommended. It was windy and I was impatient to try it out. I did figure out that it was easier using the manual focus.

Strawberry Florian F1 Hybrid

Florian F1 hybrid

These are either Thompson & Morgan Strawberry Florian F1 Hybrid or B&Q Alpine strawberry Mignonette as they were the only two varieties I had sewn from seed.

A couple of these are going into containers at my father in laws house, possibly Lisa and Paul will have a few, the rest either in the black container or wherever theres a space.
