it's my 70-200 f/2.8 mounted on a tripod, w/ 1 or 2 (i forget) macro tubes. it's a wine glass, w/ condensation, backlit from my monitor. i took the photo last weekend.

Damn.


that's cool.


My wife has some big assed Canon new camera (can you tell I'm not a photo guy?) and she wanted to get some really close pictures of baby birds in their nest. She was talking macro stuff, I'll send her this info.

I'm dissapointed.

I thought this thread would be about really, really small tube-tops.


Macro lenses are fun to play with. Cool shots.

Nice shot - what size tube(s)?

I just picked up a 52.5mm extension tube for use with my 300mm as a bug lens (well, and my 90mm macro lens to use as a super macro lens). Was too windy the two times I've had it out to do any real shooting but the test shots are nice.
