Hi, yes, I use the cheapest of cheap tubes that I got from ebay! They cost about £5 and are literally just a bit of tube! I couple these to an old Pentax 50mm f/1.7 lens that has a manual aperture ring which helps but makes the viewfinder very dark when you set it above f/8. I also add some flash from my 430ex.
It looks like this:

This is another picture of it - it's the one in the middle at the back.

Thanks.

I think it is a rose hip or something along those lines.

I really like the spider shot, and how you can clearly see the strands of it's web! They are all great shots though. Keep up the good work!
