As a few of you know from another thread I have just received my extension tubes in the mail.

Here is my favourite of the first round of shots with it.

50mm @ 16 and 1/50th

The obligatory flower shot!!!

Its funny....I don't often shoot at that high aperture setting and I am having so much trouble with my dust on the CCD that I have made a point to clean it in the next couple of days!!!!

Quite nice. I would perhaps tried to get the foreground (right) part of the flower centre in focus rather than the left.

It is so hard to selectively focus with these tubes cos it is all manual. A lot of the time I have had to wing it. That combined with the shallow depth of field makes it quite challenging.

Good for me though.....learning new skills.
