Close-up of a magnificent globe thistle, Echinops bannaticus at the Glasgow Botanic Gardens taken earlier this month. I used an old Canon FD 50mm f/1.8 manual prime on my Lumix GX7 to take this shot. So this is a manual-focus shot, and was taken handheld.

This is a macro shot of anther and stigma of a yellow lily flower, with the former full of pollens. The shot was taken indoor with the natural light from the sun coming in through the windows. I used my old Canon EOS 400D with an EF-S 60mm (f/2.8) macro lens for this shot.
