Dreamy

I started with my macro lens as normal, before swapping it for the helios with the 36mm extension tube. It was only later that I realised that I had stuck it straight on the 70d (rather than the full frame) as that is my default camera for macro work.

I can certainly get in a lot closer and still get the dreamy painter effect but the bokeh 'swirl' is far more subtle with this set up.  Hmm.
