Any thoughts / queries welcome!

Thanks for dropping by,

Cheers, Don.
Lovely indeed!

The second was a happy accident Steve. Busy following him through the viewfinder, forgot the position of the flash (on-camera) in relation to the image.
There was a branch on the log that excluded most of the light from the spider.
Thanks to Elements 11 to the rescue !
It was camera, 1.4x, 31mm tube, 100mm prime.
More formal testing required........

Thanks Sry.
I was quite pleased how the second turned out, as luck would have it......

Thanks to you both for looking & your kind remarks,

Roger.

I've asked this before, but I don't remember the answer......

If you have a lens of F/L "x", if you put X mm of tubes behind it, you get 1:1 on the sensor.
50mm of ext. behind a 50mm F/L lens gives 1:1, etc., etc.

My 100mm D FA Macro gives me 1:1 anyway.
What does it give me if I use 100mm of tubes with it ?

Answers on a fax roll please to

Roger.

ps
Yes Vic, they'll all focus closer.
But at what rate?

Spent a happy half hour yesterday pursuing this little chap around, over & under an old piece of elder log I've had for a long time.

Thanks for looking,

Roger.

Given that they, together, give the magnification ratio & the subject distance I need, does it matter -- the order in which they are mounted behind the 100 mm D FA Macro.....?

Jessops 31mm PK/AF ext. tube,

Thanks in anticipation,

That's cool, Steve!

Give us an idea of scale please.
To which "orifices" do you refer? Is the fungus growing in a box or what sort of container?

Good snaps to come!
A useful present!!

Roger.

Thanks All, for your kind remarks &, here you go, Steve.
The only other shot I got before just too many bits dropped off.....

the subject!





Have A Nice Day,
