First flower macro attempts with Tokina 100mm 1:1, hand held.

Think I will invest in a focusing rail to help out a bit and see if I can master stacking.

Thanks. I think even an inexpensive rail will help out greatly.
I put an Arca Swiss clamp on a monopod, but now think a tilt head will help instead of tilting the monopod forward if needed.

I initially mis-read the comment above. I can see the narrow focal plane through the stamens. This is indeed a good candidate for focus-stacking technique.

:thumbup: Very colorful. Nice shots & those flowers would be great for stacking.
