Kenko Extension Tubes

Tested out my Christmas presents today.

Here's a couple comparisons of my macro lens alone vs my macro lens with the kenko tubes attached.

Macro lens only:


Macro lens plus extension tubes:

Talk about magnification.

Post Christmas Inventory



Note the DIY (do-it-yourself) flash diffuser...which I made from about $10 worth of stuff from Walmart and the templates from this site.

580 EXII



Santa was good to me this year.
He got me a Canon 580EXII flash.



Combined with my 17-55mm F2.8 lens, I am now equipped to do portrait photography.



If anyone is interested in being a test model for me while I perfect my flash photography, send me an email to info@michaelswerdlyk.com.
