A gallery for what I call "ultra micro" work, a 60 MM micro, an exstension tube plus duct tape and an old video camera lens, all cobbled together for these shots, just some fun. The focus distance is 1/2" with tubes to 1" without tubes. These have to be hand held and the lighting is a real problem, so I make allowances in the quality of the images when posting. I am on the learning curve with this setup, just started this this week, so check back for more pics later. I shoot most of these at 1/320 and F 20 trying for 200 ISO.
