Same here. When we were kids we used to pick the berries and pop them just to hear the snap.

I remember doing that too. I guess the flowers were so small that I just disregarded them.

What kind of close up lens are you using and camera?

Lately I have been using a Nikon 1 J5. It is a tiny, mirrorless camera that I hike with because it weighs only 7 ounces and carries easily. I have been amazed at how well it does with closeups using just the 1 Nikkor VR 10-30mm lens which will focus at a close distance. For the very small flowers (as this one is) is I use in addition a 10mm extension tube.

It still amazes me how “furry” so many flowers are. I suppose you could call them “hairy,” too, but this one especially seems furry to me — even though fur out to be on the outside, rather than the inside!

I was very surprised to see the “furryness” in these. Maybe some day I will find out what the strategy is that causes that.

I’ve looked at the flowers but never noticed the hairs. I’m going to have to look even closer when I see them next week!
I’ve tried to get decent photos of them too and it isn’t easy, so well done!

It was really the lens that showed these flowers to me.

The Common Snowberry does not look common! Nice image! What lens do you use for your close ups!

You might laugh at this. I have been using just a plain old 10-30mm lens for most closeups. For very small flowers, I add a 10mm extension tube. I have been surprised at how well that seems to work, and that with the Nikon 1 camera weighs about half a pound, so it’s the camera I take most often on hikes. I also have an AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D on a D80, but it’s quite heavy. The lens is much sharper though.

I think so too, but it’s so small that it just gets overlooked.

Funny how the lens can enhance what we see. Other times it may get in the way but I find it more beneficial than not.

Yes, I do too. These just can’t be seen well at all without magnification.
