Those are both very good demonstration photos. How far away from the
cactus flower were you?
Earlier this year I came across a difficult situation where I had an
uncommon flower growing out of a crack in a rock wall. The base of the wall
was a 60º slope, so there was no opportunity to use a tripod. I ended up
pressing my left hand on the wall and resting the nose of the lens in the
crook of my elbow.
After these exercises with photographing the garden flower of a few days
ago, I now know that I can easily take that photo with the 75-260/4.5
telephoto plus tele-macro mounted on the tripod. I'm learning all sorts of
new methods of taking difficult photos with these film/manual/mongrel
lenses.
