Cactus Bud
Originally uploaded by jacurutu.


Bored again today, so dug out the Kenko extension tubes and had a play at macro photography. This shot is taken with the full 68mm of extension using my Nikkor AFD 50mm f/1.8 lens, and off-camera flash.

Not the most interesting photo in the world, but there's definately some magnification going on - that little bud is probably about 4mm in diameter. No idea what the reproduction ratio is though!

Next step is to find something more colourful to try with - or head out into the garden for the snowdrops and daffodils.
