Can I ask what brand extension tubes you use?
alfredo
(60,074 posts)7. I don't remember the brand, but they are AF extension tubes.
There are a set of two, 10mm and 16mm.

He needs a shave.
alfredo
(60,074 posts)15. He fancies himself a hipster
Solly Mack
(90,773 posts)17. That would explain it. He does have a hipster name.
alfredo
(60,074 posts)18. Yeah Edison is pretty hip.
Solly Mack
(90,773 posts)19. I can see that happening.
alfredo
(60,074 posts)20. Hipster beard and a shiny sharkskin suit is pushing the bounds of hipsterdom.
Solly Mack
(90,773 posts)21. And those wings!
alfredo
(60,074 posts)22. Well, that is hip
Solly Mack
(90,773 posts)23. Just can't be helped - that fly is cool.
alfredo
(60,074 posts)24. And those wonderful eyes. Beyond Steam Punk
Solly Mack
(90,773 posts)25. That fly is his own fashion movement.
alfredo
(60,074 posts)27. Movement is the operative word with bugs.
Solly Mack
(90,773 posts)29. Unless you're a greenbottle fly and too cool for it all.

Because of what you can do with it. Both of these prove my point. Can't chose a favorite. They are perfect

Just amazing!
How close were you? How did you get him to pose and not fly away???
alfredo
(60,074 posts)33. I used a zoom lens so I could stand off a bit. I lose some detail with the zoom, but that's OK.
The zoom can act like the focus ring.
