This is my very first try with extension tubes combined with a 24-105mm F4 Canon lens. The lens is extended to 105mm and I used a 36mm extension tube for the macro effect. I must say I am surprised how well these tubes work. Although I would like it if my lens were an F 2.8 instead of an F4. Notice the little insect on this clover flower. Yes, this is a clover flower which is smaller in diameter than a dime.

Red Spring Tulip Macro Flower Picture. The flower from this tulip seems surreal because of the depth of field (bokeh) used to focus out the unwanted details. Tulips are some of the most loved spring flowers in the world.

If you look close enough you will see that there is a small spider in this photo. I did not notice it until I was processing in it in PSE. I love these mountain wildflowers. These are actually mountain laurel and this was in the Dolly Sods Wilderness area. I love taking bee and spider macro shots. One day I will be able to take even better images with a higher quality lens but for now this is the best I can do. I really enjoyed taking these as I stood for hours on end watching these bees and butterflies.
