Macro - NX2000 + 30mm + 16mm + Closeup tubes
2

I always liked the idea of macro photography but I could never convince my self to spend £300 on macro lens. I found some macro tubes for £30 so I though I will give it a go.

It was quite challenging to take these shots as it was all in daylight without flash and subject needed to be about 2" from the lens. I hope you will like it.

All in EXIFs. Mainly 30mm as with 16mm with both tubes focusing distance is about an 1" from lens

Thanks, but which tubes?  A link would be great for reference.

Really cool macro with the tubes. But there's no way I'm getting 1 to 2" from that spider! LOL
