A Little Bit of Macro Work

I had the opportunity to spend a little bit of time with the MP-E 65 Macro lens this afternoon.  The cool thing about this lens is that it lets you get close, really, really close.  You can shoot at up to 5x life size.  For my subject, I grabbed a daisy out of one of our flower beds.
