First light with extension tubes
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.

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.

The colors so vivid, the images to clear!

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

10. Continuous shooting does the same thing if the subject is moving or if
Hand held.
