Description
Guess who got Extension tubes?Lol.
They make for crazy close shots, although it means I need to keep everything REALLLLLLY still to have the ubermax macroness used.
I will get the hang of them soon enough, you'll see.

The amount of light was low, so it was hard to keep the camera still...
It's a shame, because it makes it rather blurry with the apperture I used.

xD
Thanks.
£1,100 later and I can finally get some really decent pictures.
(That is how much I spent on my camera and parts for it. A hell of a lot, but some of it was for my birthday.)

you know, some people spend fortunes on cameras and still dont get any good pictures
you're doing quite allright.
i like this shot. I considered tubes myself, but agreed with myself that the next thing si gonna be a super wideangle lens.

Heh.
I think next up on my list would have to be a Telephoto lens so I can do stuff like sports photography, perhaps.
Or... something like that.
Maybe I will get cheap lens-cap things that give different effects, such as fish-eye and polarisation.

ah the fisheye lens caps arent worth it. they dont produse good quality.
telephoto is nice to have. i got a 75-300 from sigma, that was pretty cheap and quite nice. it even has a macro settings.
avoid the lens caps though.
polarisation filters helps a lot on sunny days when doing landscapes, reducing glare and making the sky blue. ^_^

I love blue skies. There arn't many times that there are blue blue skies over here, more grey-blue.
So the polarisation one would be nice to have...
And yeah, Sigma is the way to go.
How much was that 75~300?
My 105mm Macro lens was like... £300. x_x;
