A few samples of my first efforts with my Kenko extension tubes - will have to look for some on-line tutorials on how to get the most from these tubes. Looks like they could be lots of fun. But my keeper ratio is very low - maybe one in 40 is a keeper - shooting hand held in late evening sun...

Not sure what the first bug it - second is your garden variety pesky skeeter First use of my Kenko extension tubes with my 105mm Nikkor Micro

Paid on 20 June - picked it up today 7 July - so less than three weeks to get over the mountains from BC to Alberta. Gotta love Canada Post. Was a little worried as the vendor apparently must be a Green Party supporter and wanted to save trees using the minimal amount of packaging for...

Had an interesting twist the other day. Shooting bugs in the evening, in the shade, so thought I'd just hit the pop-up flash and see if it helped. Gave it a shot or two through the view finder but I was shooting a mighty tiny 'itsy bitsy' spider so thought I'd switch to live view, manual focus...

just opened today, looked like this yesterday

A flowering shrub - lost the name for this one - anyone know what this is called?

Itsy bitys spider BTW I found that the on board flash would not fire when I was using liveview. Use the view finder it flashes. Try manual focus, live view (magnified) and while the shutter releases and I get the image it is dark and ISO (auto) gets cranked way up there (2000). I was hand...

presky little fly

Took the 60mm micro out for a walk in the morning light. Ready for the "she loves me" test.
