I recently moved from Tucson, Arizona to Modesto, California.
I finished my Ph.D. in Political Science focusing on American Government and International Relations. I have a...
Very nice macro, those closeup add-ons are pretty good. We need to find a way for you to get some extension tubes and an external flash. You'd get some killer shots with a little bit better kit. Great job!
You can get really cheap sets with no electrical connection to the lens but I would recommend the Kenko DG set for Canon EF/EFS lenses. New they run about $135.00, ebay and craigslist are about $100.00 or less for lightly used if you are patient in watching listings. They move the lens away from the focal plane increasing focal length and allowing focusing closer to the front of the lens. This results in limited focusing on more distant objects, no glass is involved so the image is not degraded. The exposure is shifted by one f/stop when the focal length is doubled.

My name is Marta Costa, I’m a girl from Portugal, currently studying in my last year of High School ( 12th grade ) in the field of Arts. For our Multimedia Class we have to make an Individual Project and I decided to do a documentary plus a videoart, inspired on Steve Reich’s work.
The reason why I’m contacting you is to have your authorization to use parts of your 365 project, use your photography’s to be more precise, in the videos I want to create.
The reason why I choose to focus in the 365 project comes with my personal interest and curiosity for photography and I also invested my time in such project. It’s inspiring, it’s interesting, it’s intriguing which picture picked for each day and there are such wonderful works around there. If you are interested to see what i've done until this day, you can follow me at www.flickr.com/photos/52883161@N05/
If you agree in letting me use your work, I would appreciate if you could submit your name (First and Last, preferably), Country/Home Town where you live at the moment and a brief opinion about what the 365 project means to you.
For example, why did you start it? Do you enjoy working on that project? In which ways the project is related with your daily life? Do you tend to expose your own routine in the pictures or you look more at what’s around you? Overall, do you like or dislike the results you are getting? Does is at have emotional meaning or you see it more like a hobby? Are you enjoying it enough to proceed with it until the end?
Note that this Individual Project has no profitable ends and it will only be exposed to and analyzed by teachers and classmates, including the name of the author and respecting the rights of his/her work.
If any more information is necessary about me or about my project to feel reassured about allowing me to use your work, please, be my guest to ask.
Thank you for your time and I shall wait for an answer.
Close-up filter works pretty nice! Have you tried "reverse Macro"? Using the same lens, turn it around and hold it up (backwards) to your sensor. Or, for about $9, you can get an adapter that will hold it backwards to your camera.
I'm not trying to hijack your post, so you can find a link and more info on my photo taken on April 28th if you want to.
@martafilipa Funny thing marta I went to see Steve Reich at the Barbican London this weekend - it was out of this world - I am addicted to his music my all time fav composer! I am going to go to his 75 concert in October. Good luck with your Project. I am afraid I am nowhere near in the league of Kerri!
@whippeteer Hello again.

As well I need your authorization to show the video where your photos are, in public (I will make sure that the credits have your name). I need your answer as soon as you can give me (because de exhibit is on the 4th of June).
Thank you,
Marta Costa.
