85mm 1.8G Macro?

English Gardens, Munich

Nikon D300s + Nikon 85mm 1.8G + Canon 500D Close up lens
f/1.8, 1/500 secs, ISO 200

A tripod, or a steadier hand, would have made a significant difference to the picture above. Nothing extra has been done to the background, the Canon 500D close up and the wide open 85mm ensure you get a smooth OOF background.

The shot below is taken after stopping down. These flowers are very small and scattered all throughout the grass.
