Hi Folks.
Macro shots of stuff found in the house! No cropping.
The full stack of extension tubes is 65mm!
I’m afraid on some of the shots I have missed critical focus slightly, I had the camera set up looking down on to a window sill in the sun and as the session progressed the lubrication in the lens must have been thinning in the heat as the lens zoom started to move unaided and I didn’t notice as I was doing this whilst on a FaceTime call with my two photography buddies, trying to show them how macro is done and answer their questions, fortunately they both have extension tubes but neither of them had lens reversing rings.
Although we have done a group session on macro before it was a couple of years ago and they had pretty much forgotten all I showed them.
Orange with 17-85mm on full stack of extension tubes.

A nut found outside, looks like it has been stepped on or driven over a few times!

More shots in my Flickr album.
Please join in if you have some shots taken during lockdown.
Stay safe, stay in if you can, be well please.
Cheers, Graham.
Ps, I should also state that although I was trying to teach my friends, I am no expert! But you could probably tell that already!
