First light with extension tubes

[alfredo]

This one used the 14~42 kit lens + shortest extension tube on my EPl1. The other two used the Yashinon 50mm (100mm) lens.





This one was cropped by 35%

1. Wow.

These are gorgeous. They would look spectacular blown up really large, like 3 x 4 feet.

2. Thanks. I will attempt that when I get a bit more experience.

3. I've done a couple of prints

on canvas, 3 x 3 ft and they came out really well. I think it's really interesting to see micro shots blown up large. They make for very compelling images.

4. I might be going out to the arboretum later to take more

images. This time I will take my tripod.

Maybe I will find a worthy image for printing.

8. Thanks. Holding everything still is character building. Luck plays into it.

6. These are just WONDERFUL!

The colors so vivid, the images to clear!

I can't wait until you post your photos from the arboretum!
