Macro Photography using extension tube

Since macro lenses are too expensive, a good alternative will be using an extension tube in between your camera body and your lens.

This tube extends the distance of your lens to the camera sensor. 

Macro lens ~$700

extension tube ~$10

savings ~$690

But using extension tubes also bring challenges for a macro enthusiast.  

You will lose light, and you need to shoot manually all the way.  It is good to shoot on a sunny day to compensate the light lost.

Some of my Macro shots using a cheap extension tube and a 50mm F1.8 prime lens.

These are dragonflies who like to pose for the camera.

Birds - they own the skies

Most of the photos are shot at Jurong Bird Park in Singapore.
