I recently went ahead and bought an extension tube for my camera – the begining of an adventure that will probably have me buying successively expensive lenses and crying for all the money I’ve spent on pieces of glass. Funnily enough, the extension tube I bought, the EX-25 , is just a tube, no glass, no magic, just an empty tube that passes the info & power from the camera. The beauty of this sweet baby is it allows me to get in much closer to the smaller things, like pretty pretty flowers or a rancid mouse corpse.

I had an earlier Macro obsession, visible here at my Pbase page, I feel now that I am putting together some better compositions, here are my recent favorites!
