    First Outing With My Tubes

    Got my tubes n this morning. Took them out for a test run. Boy, it never occurred to me that that 2 inches from your subject can be so hard, when most of them are knee high or lower.

    BTW... I have read a lot of conjecture about Kenko tubes and their use with EFS lenses. Most people say that they do not function with them, and I can not say either way, but my Kenko tubes say EF/EFS on them, and they have both the red and white markers. I only have EF lenses, so that is all I know.


    Here are the pics...

    Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.

    Re: First Outing With My Tubes

    I know what you mean about shooting subject that are low to the ground. When Liveview first came out on DSLR's I thought it was just a gimmick. I have learned just how useful it can be! Shooting macros with tubes can be pretty challenging, but man is it fun! I really like the last image you posted, as well as 4 and 5 from your original post.
