About	This is a Super-Macro of another Purple Coneflower (Magnus) not as near to where the petals connect to the pistil and stamen central area. More centralized. I bought a couple of these after seeing them on UF photo by Robin Wickenkamp entitled "Summer's End" I used a 105mm Micro Lens, three extension tubes (68mm total) and a 3x filter . . . a tripod (well, duhhhh . . .) and for this shot, a white reflector and diffuser to add reverse lighting to the golden rays of the setting sun. Shot outdoors in all natural light. The yellow you see is pollen. The white brought out the stamens, pistils, pollen and nector . . . in the translucent missiles of floral LOVE!! Heheheheee.

Thanks J-E: I have just begun to experiment with the reflectors and diffusers but the change to backlight white from the side gold was amazing! See through versus side gold toned light! This may be fun! :)

Thanks so very much Michele. I still have a silver reflector to try out to go with the gold and white . . . it's amazing what changes occur to an image based on the nature and location of the light . . . especially these very close macros! :)
