Using extension tubes for the first time

ccroy · Jul 13, 2008

After seeing so many excellent macro shots posted by the members, I gathered courage to use the extention tubes, which were bought about two years back but never used. I like the efforts to be made to overcome the difficulties in foucssing with wind spoiling the game. After shooting some flower shots, I really grew in confidence to continue this wonderful section of the photography. I used the Tokina 135/2.8 MF for the reach.

Here are some efforts

Very nice images. You've made the limited DOF into an advantage in your compositions. Well done.

Nice shots. I especially like #4. What tube length did you use?

Thanks Duncan

Art thanks. I used the longest tube which is 1" in length. As I have used the tubes for the first time, any suggestions for improvement?

On 2? not really. I wouldn't crop it at all and depending on your patience and how you feel about the idea of it, that one oof leaf in front would have been wonderful missing somehow
