Jaume, being a little late with reply, thanks for your comment. I'm no big fan of macro either, but decided to try out new glass in my collection, SMC Takumar 28/3,5 which goes a little beyond 1:1 when reversed. I took several shots of that ashtray but decided for this one exactly because of the texture it shows. I like the definition as Moon in Warhol's manner too. Thanks. As for other "experiments", I took some night portraits at candle light but the results were to contrasty since I used Ilford HP5 at 3200 ASA which pushed the contrast to much. As well there were some close-up shots of CD collection in the rack with reversed M 50/1.7 that I like but I should clean CDs more carefully since there was some distracting dust visible. I might use one of them for the PUG some day.
