Macro Monday
Some more macro around my yard today. I've been enjoying the results from my 75-300mm lens set at 75mm with a macro extension tube. I set the lens to either f/14 or f/16 at 1/200 sec with flash enabled.

Fire
Went to a huge bonfire last night and couldn't resist taking some more photos of the flames.
This one, to me, looks like there's a smiley face in the flames.
This one looks like you can see a 3 and a 2 in the flames.

A Closer Look at The Backyard
Macro photography is fun, you don't need to drive anywhere to get cool photos. If you have a large yard you could spend hours looking at everything closer than you normally would.
Spider
Some macro shots of a spider on my garbage can from a few days ago. I used my 50mm f/1.4 with a macro extension tube and am pretty happy with the results. If I remember correctly I set the aperture to f/11 or so and used the flash. That's the one thing I don't like about the extension tube, you have to set the aperture on the lens, then while holding the depth of field preview button you remove the lens and attach it to the extension tube. I can't wait to get a real macro lens but for now this will do. #spider #macro
