Macro on the cheap

[AlwaysOnAuto]

First time using my macro lens (bought used on the Shop Goodwill site) on my used Sony camera (A7ii).
Ever wonder what that small print on the batteries says?
I have a hard time reading this even with a magnifying glass.



This is a film counter from an old camera.



My setup is not as sophisticated as ionian's is. These are all ambient light with the film counter being enhanced with an LED flashlight.
I had a dead grasshopper that fell out of my wood pile in the garage the other day, but my wife wouldn't allow it in the house so I tossed it out.

On the cheap is good. So are the shots. I find myself more and more trying to get the best out of what I have rather than getting the best o get mediocre.
