Macro A Bit of Tension

A Bit of Tension · **16 Likes**

in both the water droplets and the web supporting them. I just bought this new Irix 150mm Dragonfly Macro lens and was out giving it a test run. Unfortunately, I was hesitant to spend a lot of time shooting with it, because it showed up, brand new in a sealed box, without the hood.

I am waiting for B&H to confirm that they will get Irix to send me the missing hood, or if I will need to send it back and exchange it for another lens. Don't ask me how Irix managed to leave it out...

Very abstract and intriguing

Very cool looking shot. The interconnectedness is fascinating.

I like this! It reminds me of a picture I took a few years ago. I like that kind of composition.

Terrific abstract Todd. Has kind of an interstellar look to it. Very cool.

I love this! I had never heard of this Dragonfly lens before, but it sure produces the goods in macro.

Thank you! I didn't see all of the tiny droplets until I viewed it on my screen.

Thanks bdery! I thought that the rocks would make a very good background which they did.

Thank you Dennis! There is an In-Depth Review and some User Reviews on PF. Also, you can see more photos in a thread in the Lens Sample Photos section.

Great image but a hood-less lens is not the handiest .

Incredibly cool shot, nicely done!

Thanks pichaser! Fortunately B&H was able to get Irix to send me a hood several days later.
