WOW,,,,very nice on both shots. I have just been convinced to go with extension tubes rather than fork over a ton of cash for a macro lens. Excellent shots here Rebel.

Thanks for the comment JaertX, Gary. :)

JaertX, stacking the tubes, Bigma will become one heck of a giant macro lens.:D
Gary, I think the tubes and your EF 200mm prime will become a dynamic combo. ;)

Cool shots, Fee!! I can't ever seem to track bugs and birds well enough to get a decent photo!


Life is hard...but I just take it one photograph at a time.

Thanks Dan, Ron, Wayne, Maureen, Mark, Dennis for the comments. Glad y'all enjoy the pictures. :)
The tubes just sit in my camera bag throughout the entire winter. Not many bugs to shoot in the cold weather. Now spring is here, the activities start picking up.

Love the firs shot! It really brings out the beauty of this often overlooked insect. I have shot them in the past and the colors are truly amazing! Your shots bring this out quite nicely!
