Hi everyone i just found a great link for macro photography i thought it would be good to share this with everyone, hope you all enjoy this as much as i did : ]
@buttercup Hi Mary, yes i was looking at macro lenses, and now decided to go for some Kenko macro rings for my nifty fifty "f1.8 50mm" Canon, i would certainly look into these first i have been told they are very good and you can use auto focus and manual focus with these rings.
Hi all, I stumbled on this post and wanted to share something with you that I thought might help out after reading your conversation. I offer a free gift: The Essential Guide To Buying Your First Macro Lens at http://www.macrolensesforbeginners.com. You can also sign up for a weekly newsletter. The first issue is all about extension tubes. I think they are a perfect place to start as well, Mary. I went with the Zeikos Extension Tubes because they were a little more affordable. The Kenko have a better reputation but cost $120 more. Some people say they have issues with the Zeikos but it seems very dependent on the camera. I also have a rebel.
Tweets ahoy!

Either way, I wish you the best and congratulations on coming into the exciting world of macro photography :) cheers,
