I was walking the fenceline down the driveway with my macro lens.

Pat, are you using extension tubes, reverse rings, or just a macro lens?

I ask as sometimes a macro lens on extension tubes allows you to get closer to the subject, and your shots look like you were very close.

Very cool

Thank you Dave

Hi Dave, I am using two extension tubes at the same time, a 12mm and a 20mm. I am also using DX mode (crop sensor) on a full frame camera (Nikon).

Awesome. I also stack extension tubes

I can switch the setting on my Pentax to 1:1, crop, and full frame
