Macro Extension Tube

[gem2niki]

Camera nerding time! So recently I've been annoyed by how my photos turn out blurry because of low lighting. I ended up buying some photography lighting to produce better photos in a well lit environment in my poorly lit room).


I even made a light box set up.

However, when I try to take pictures of my figures, they end up blurry at a close distance because I don't have macro lens. Macro lens are too expensive for me for a hobby, so I ended researching about macro lens on youtube and found out about extension tube! I ordered one off amazon and got to play with it tonight. Long lens (80-300mm) work much better with it than my 20mm XD


You can use one or both.



How my figure photos normally turn out with my normal lens. All blurrrryyyy until I have to back further away.

WITH EXTENSION TUBE


Super close!! You can see the dust XD;;


I really wouldn't never get this close without cropping. Also playing with lighting.



Paint details!!


My sister's engagement ring!

This was fun! I'll mess with my new extensions more later~

Too cool! I use a 40 mm lens for my close up detail shots. It was $100 dollars. :D

>_> My spending is bad when i think it was only $100 and then i go look at yours and its $30.
