I got a new toy for my camera: extension tubes. I'm still playing with them and the jury is out. I'm not sure that they give me more magnification. In some cases I think I could have gotten the same effect with cropping. And in some of these photos I still cropped.
These were all taken in my backyard.
Seed pod from a yard weed
Lichen on a bird feeder
Sedums
Hens and Chicks
Fly on Cuphea
Insect on Lemon Gem Marigolds
Chickpea pod (yes, they are still growing! Update soon!)
Parlsey flower section
Here is the whole Parsley flower head
Bee Fly on an allium
Flies
Moth on Corsican Mint:::this might be the best small "thing" photo I got. This moth was itty-bitty.
Waterlily
Leaf on pond
I think they're pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome... I think the little fly faces are my favorites!
ReplyDeleteI loved the pictures. You did a splendid job. I hope you are having a good time with your new extension lenses. Cropping gives almost the same effect but the lens improves the clarity. Try yourself, click picture of same object with and without lens. You will notice the difference. With time you will appreciate the possession. Till then enjoy!
