….a few more…
These first three were taken with a 50mm lens and extension tubes, a relatively inexpensive way to make your lenses focus A LOT closer.
I don’t have protective filters on the front of any of my lenses (I’ve had glare problems in the past with filters, so I stopped using them). They’re not a bad idea since they protect the front element on the lens, but I like to live dangerously I guess…. Anyway, with the 36mm extension tube on the lens, I was so close to this bug I had to remove the lens hood… less than an inch way…he didn’t seem to like it very much!
