Extending My Horizons
Lens: Pentax SMC 50mm F1.4, Pentax Extension Tubes #1-3 Camera: K-5 Photo Location: Cottonwood, CA USA

Still playing with the extension tube! They are a blast to tinker with! Just did a little cropping to center the images.

I believe this is called a Primrose? Looks like sugar candy!



Everyone probably knows this is Spearmint....



Have no clue what this is......a flower



Primrose at different angle.



Spearmint again!

I can't pick a favourite, they are all supurb. I really love how the slightest move of the camera totally changes the perspective when lining up the shot.

I admit it's fun! Guess I should be a little more serious! Naw..... Love your shot of the stone bridge and story! Travel safe!

eaglem, AussieTrev, deaning, these extension tubes are great! You may as well know I plucked the blossoms and sat them on my hat to photograph them!

Haha! I just noticed on #4 there is a ton of yellow dust! Seriously though, that one is worthy of competition entry as the DOF is superb and the way the pollen trails off down the image is just eyecatching.
