Macro Photography

I recieved a set of extension tubes for my Nikon D90 as a belated X-mas present. These move the lens body away from the camera and allow you to focus on really close objects. Both of these pics are of very boring subject matter, a 3 ring binder and the support arm on my truck tailgate but I think getting so close makes them interesting. The focal plane when using the tubes is razer thin and makes focusing very difficult. I took a few pictures of eyeballs close up they were cool looking but the focus was too far off to post. I am going to try again this time with more setup (tripod remote and a head rest). I hit a bit of a dry spell taking pics, it is hard when you get home from work it is dark and you can only take pics in the house.

Poth these pics were taken with a 50mm Lens and all 3 extension tubes on. They are un-cropped and I adjusted the contrast a bit.
