Astral greatness

I guess that earlier this week I got the best milky way photo so far. The feeling when you're standing in the middle of forest, total darkness surrounds you and the only thing you hear is the wind gently blowing. Staring the sky upon you, you see thousands and thousands of stars and it makes you feel a very small piece in this huge universe. Your everyday misfortures start to feel meaningless.

I want to thank Andrei for my new stamp. In my opinion it looks really cool especially if you compare it to my previous one. 

DIY-macro test photos

As I posted earlier this month, I made my own macro lens. I posted some test photos as well, but they were taken in a rush just to demostrate that it works. (See the earlier post here) Now that I have had some spare time, I decided to go out and try it with more effort given. And here are the results. A friend of mine was very kind and gave me a REAL macro lens (nikkor 60mm f/2.8) to compare with the one I did. So there will be more macro stuff coming.
