Cones

By way of contrast, here is a set of incense cones shot with a medium (11) aperture on the same Elicar dedicated Macro lens. On a normal lens, f/11 would get you a good bit of depth to your image, not here. Even 10mm back from the 1st cone, things are already starting to look fuzzy.

I like the shot. Wished I could have captured the smoke being given off the cones, but we ca't have everything.
