So last week I acquired a cheap set of macro tubes and this weekend have set about putting them to the test. I’ve learned lots already and hope to show some better examples once I have found a suitable subject.

The first successful shot was simply a spent flower in the garden, I  thought it made a nice image

The next thing to try was my first real attempt at focus stacking – only four images and photoshop properly creaked when I tried to create the stack, but it got there in the end…
