very nice work good Dr., and beautiful specimens to boot!

I've been toying with some extensions myself, for quite some time, you've definately motivated me to get them with those 'before and after' shotz.

sweetness.. :joint:

weaterdayz> My HS sounds a bit different than either of those, guess it is a pretty generic name for a clone.

pyrojohnhippy> Thanks dude, no this setup wasn't cheap but a nice tax rite off.

Chili_berkster> You are too kind Chili

ograskal> Thanks my man, I shoot with a NikonD80. Its a great cam for the serious hobbiest or semi-pro but like with all DSLR's its all about the lens.

beancounter> These extension tubes work really great but you have to use them in conjunction with a dedicated macro lens to achieve results like these, thanks for the compliments bean.

Americangrower> Sorry if I confused you with all the photo jargon lol, the xtubes are just a hollow tube with no optics that mounts in front of a lens, it creates a gap between the lens and the camera's sensor , that forces the lens to focus closer than normal, magnifying your subject. I have a few grand invested in my equipment but you could get nearly the same quality pictures for around 1K.

I forgot to post these earlier, from the 1st round of test shots with xtubes. I've got the technique down now but I am still messing with the settings trying to get optimal results.
