I came across this exotic shrub while walking in the neighborhood. These little flowers grow in clusters to make a big flower, and there are dozens of big flowers on the shrub. I have no idea what it is, but it has the most delicious scent. SMC Takumar 55mm f/2 on a 20mm extension tube.

Below is a photo taken with a Takumar 500mm f4.5 (m42 mount) on my K5 using a Vivatar 2x teleconverter. This resulted in a 1500mm full frame equivalent. Not the greatest image quality but not too bad considering the age of the lens and teleconverter (50+ years old), the quality of the teleconverter (cost $20) and the distance the subject was from the camera.

Nice shot! I wonder who the glass maker was who could get all those shades and textures into the shoe?
