Thanks, Christine. I did use a diffuse when the sun was shining directly. The K-01's focus peaking is indeed very useful for closeups - plus it is a lot easier to compose with the LCD when the camera is just a few inches off the ground. I came home much less muddy than in past years. Mark On

Mark, I missed commenting on these but they are wonderful. I've never seen the harbinger of spring but will look next year. That looks like a very strange flower form. The hepatica are just beautiful macros. Regards, Bob S. On Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 11:29 AM, Tom C wrote: >> I took a day off today
