depscribe's photos with the keyword: 105mm f2.8 AI-S Micro-Nikkor with TC-201

This was part of my little experiment to shoot the 105mm f2.8 AI-s Micro-Nikkor with a TC-201 teleconverter. While I don't think the experiment was much of a success, I do kind of like this picture -- not least because when I got back inside and was looking at the pictures, I found what appear to be the legs of a lurking spider sticking out from behind the bottom-most petal right of center. The world is a dangerous place!

This is one of the pictures I made this morning while trying to shoot the 105mm manual-focus Micro-Nikkor with a Nikon Tc-201 teleconverter available light and handheld. I wanted to see if this is a practical thing to do (it isn't, unless you are very lucky; the lack of depth of field is such that I don't think anyone can reliably hold the camera still enough not to avoid shake but to keep the subject in focus).
