My close-up/macro shots

Look into the mass sales and you will find it.

You can get it from tagotech. But you will lose all your auto control over the lens (like aperture, focus). I am using a manual lens, so it's alright.

Thanks guys!

Hi bro, really admire your shots. however, can the extension tube be use on let say D90 with zoom lens? btw wat camera are u using it on? thanks!

 

[wwooaahh]

I am using Olympus E520. I think there is extension tube for nikon D90. It is just a hollow metal tube attached to the camera body. But the problem is you need to manually control the aperture and focus of your lens. So I am not sure if your zoom lens can be used.

Basically, my set up is as follow: E520+extension tube+OM to 4/3 adapter+Zuiko OM 50mm f1.8.

I believe there is extension tube which allows you to control the lens digitally but cost quite a bit. Hope that this helps.

Wow.. I like the shot of the compound eyes. =)

How did you do that?

 

[wwooaahh]

I put the lens slowly towards it and use live view to focus by moving back and forward. The dragon fly was a bit blind I think, haha.

For a long time I didn't have the chance to shoot macro again. Took a walk along Lakeside to Chinese garden last week, and got some shots that I'd like to share. Similar set up as other shots: E520 + cheap macro extension tube + Zuiko OM manual lens, hand held with flash.

And sorry about pic #3 and #8, I think I deleted them accidentally on my flickr.

Very well taken, good focus, good exposure (for most, watch out for the harsh flash for some)! Well done!

Thank you all for your encouragement.

Sharing another few shots I took last week at Chinese garden. These were taken with an OM Vivitar 135mm f2.8 close-focus manual lens and E520. Hand held and no flash, because I forgot to bring my batteries.
