first macro attempt

got my extension tubes today, added them to my K20d and 50mm manual lens, found a fly in the porch and tried a few shots - this was the best of several dozen as I found my feet - damn this is hard!!!

it is hard, but it's not a bad effort - good manual focus - persevere and before you know it you'll be posting some amazing shots...
