World of Macro: The Beetle

BEETLE!!! It has been long since i last blogged with new photos. Today just brought an extension tube for macro photography. I have a close up filter, but I don't like to use it as the image quality with a close up filter attached to the lens SUCKS. The extension tube is a hollow tube that increase the distance the lens from the camera sensor. Therefore with the extension tube, photographer can position nearer to the subject. I was experimenting with the extension tube, then a beetle fly into my room. So lucky, I got a REAL subject to experiment on. Below is the image of my work with the extension tube and Canon 50mm f1.8 lens. (Below) Backside of the beetle
