WoooHooo Extension Tubes!

My kenko extension tubes arrived this morning and just had time to have a quick play inbetween work. So excited I thought I'd share them with you guys

So far soo good, although you have to be amazingly close to get in focus...

All of these are uncropped too!

Cheers!

My work doesnt involve spiders! They are just some random ones in the garden. Quite worrying when you see what they look like close up!

The setup was, all 3 kenko tubes and my 100mm f2.8 macro lens on the 350d.

Very good. I regret selling my extention tubes now.

Why on earth would you sell them?!?!

Ringflash?

Nope. I used a sigma 500 super flash on a cord. Works ok, but would love a ring flash sooo much!

You've done a great job with focus and depth of field.

I have the same setup and it does make for some interesting macro opportunities
Some of my shots here

Thank you! Have you tried the tubes with any other lenses? I'm looking forward to trying it with my 70-200mm f4 to see what happens.

Thank you!



The picture SDK posted has been playing on my mind! Now I really want a ring flash!!!!!!!! Would be sooo nice not to have to worry about the tripod/holding a the flash i have close to the end of the lens etc, its a heavy set up for one hand! Not to mention trying to keep steady and in focus at the same time!!!

Hmmmm.... ring flash....

It's on the shopping list! I'm off to China in a few weeks for a holiday so I'll keep an eye out for one then I think!
