First Post - New set of Tubes - Lily

petelanglois

I just picked up a set of extension tubes and this is what I was shooting before the skies opened up and the lightning and rain started to pour down. I'm new to the tubes so this was just playing around. Hoping to get some better shots soon.



And a little closer

Brian,

I'm using a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 in this shot. I also have an 85mm f/1.8 Nikkor I can use as well. I'm using a Novoflex focus rail to fine tune that focus. I picked it up in the dollar bin. It was a good score. Cheapest rails I can find are about 100.00 at Adorama.

It's a little dark, was the f-stop fully open ?

It's actually at f/22 I was playing with the f-stops to see if I could get more/less in focus.

I'm new to this macro stuff with the tubes and I'm trying to get it all worked out.
