Macro Photography 1

There are number of ways you can go closer to your subjects and enlarge your subject...... There are special macro lenses - which can give you 1:1 ratio of the subject, meaning same as real life size.
There are extender tubes available - which can more or less produce the same results as well and come much cheaper.. may be about 1/10th of the lens. The catch here is that you need to make sure the extended tubes are automatic meaning your Aperture, focus etc should be communicated through the tubes......... the tubes sit on your camera and on top of that your lens (standard 18 to 55mm or any other prime lens)....
There are much cheaper filters are available but because you add glasses on top of your lens, the quality is compromised.

Extended tubes allow you to go very close to your subject... and hence comes with very shallow depth of field.... shooting with a tripod is highly recommended.

The below images are taken using the extenders..... To me, the results are closer to the macro lens results ...... you need to confirm !!!!!










These were my models for this shoot !
