Super close up macro shots

tektite · Dec 31, 2013

It takes practice, but its worth it to get cool macro shots

I'd hold off on the extension tubes till you're comfortable with the macro lens and are getting the shots you want. Extension tubes add a lot of complications, easy to get frustrated with them if you're unfamiliar with macro photography.

This is precisely what I'm wanting to do myself, and have been gathering up information about it for the past 48 hours. You summed it all up in your posts, so thank you. My extension tubes were ordered on Sunday and should arrive any day now. I can't wait to see what I can do with them.

One of your pictures in the first post had a flatworm on the coral. Just a heads up, although I have to imagine you saw it already (since it was a super macro shot and it makes everything visible!). Great pictures.

Thanks everyone!

I did see the flatworm Mark

My tank has a lot of different species LOL!

Tektite, due to your thread, I got busy myself with some tubes. I referenced this thread of yours in my article.
