I posted this in "Fun with Medium Format", but thought I would show the BTS. I am new to macro, and to quote Socrates, “All I know is that I do not know anything”. Aside from my numerous other macro challenges, this morning wind was added to that. This was my makeshift setup to block the wind, a handheld diffuser and my dogs bed.

Wonderful image!
New to macro, huh? I'm simultaneously impressed and demoralized. ;)

I do not know what I do not know; the unknown unknowns.

We have a lot of Peonies in our yard and this is the first of this years crop coming out of the ground. Along with all my other macro struggles, it currently seems like the wind is my main nemesis. As they say necessity is the mother of invention, so I rummaged thru our attic and found this old lamp shade.
