Macro without a Macro Lens
I have still been experimenting with the extension tubes on my Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens. This photo was made using the 20mm and 12mm extension tubes (Kenko) with the 50mm lens at f/2.0 with a shutter speed of 1/60". I used the Canon 550EX flash and bounced the light from a wall directly to the right on this image. I started out playing with all three extension tubes stacked (36mm, 20mm, and 12mm) but quickly figured out that it was just too much for this particular composition. I haven't had an opportunity to spend much time playing with the extension tubes on the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L yet, but I need to try that out as well to see what kind of results I can get and add some working distance to the subject.
