Hi Folks,

I maintain all lockdown precautions but take short evening walks.

Today I captured the attached photo on my mobile phone.

One friend jokingly commented that the 'corona' was 'striking' and the corolla also looked like corona and we laughed.

The resemblence to the virus is so uncanny I thought I'd share the picture of the bloom with you.

Regards,

Samir Mehta

Thank you Paradesi ji.

This is called wide angle macrophotography, made possible by mobile phone sensors.
The conventional macro lens allows us to take excellent close up photo's but depth of field is restricted. Here we get a much greater DOF not possible with conventional macro lens.

Satish ji, now even specialized wide angle macro lenses are available at reasonable price from Chinese manufacturers.

Regards,

Samir Mehta
