Are you using a lens hood? I can see the round black edges.

As for the fuzzy, it may just be how the lens focuses when close up. It blurs out the *out of focus* stuff and clears up the *in focus*...?

Well, thats my best guess for now... Somebody with more camera knowledge will know.

Thats the edges of the adapter for the 58mm lens and I accept your reasoning for the fuzzy edges

I use Fuji Finepix S7000, 6 mpx. Its Fujinon lens (F2.8 - F3.1 / F8, 35-210) has a super macro capability. I can shot from 8-10 mm in distance to the object.

I thought I'd share a few too. Cactus are great cuz they never move, but they always change

I like this.

Ferocactus herrerae flower. Just jump in!

Pachycereus pringleii the growing part.

Stenocereus beneckei, I just love this plant

Agave bovicornuta, that's close enough!

Great shots everyone, and it's good to see a Pachycereus pringleii actually growing Buck. Mine stalled out after the great freeze.

Water - now. It grows in summer rainfall area. By the way, I've been giving a 3 foot tall Saguaro in a pot, a lot of water in July and August and it has started to grow like crazy.

I don't think our pringlei has stopped growing! It's had consistent growth for a long time now. It's in a pot.

The small Saguaro i have in the ground (the pic i posted) finally started to grow too! It hadn't done squat for awhile now, so i'm very happy

Twice a week soaks has finally started to reach it.

Great post!
