Macroliciousness! I love my macro extension tubes! I will have to use them this week! You have inspired me -- I've gotten so lazy about lugging my big camera and the lens around, but it's time! :-)
@ellen I found the extension tubes to be really tricky. I wish I had read up on them before I got them. Honestly, I took over 200 shots with them and wasn't thrilled with any of them because of focus issues. The narrow DOF and inability to focus in any way other than moving the camera almost drove me to distraction. But then again, every time I put that camera to my face, it's like meditation. I guess the results were what bothered me.
@lorihiro, Oh queen of macro, please tell me how it's done! I thought of you as I was stalking the smallest things in my very gray, very cloudy New England yard.
