It's About The Little Things - Macro Photography

I like this project. It was interesting to see how my different lenses fared differently; I have a 50mm 1.8 prime lens, but - contrary to what I thought - it was usually less effective at capturing things up close than my 18-55 zoom lens. (Though most of the above pictures were shot with the prime.) It was an interesting discovery. My mum has a lens extension that doubles everything, so- I stole borrowed it - instead of putting that on the zoom lens, I held it flipped around. This gave me room to move in closer to things - this is something I'm planning on experimenting with in the future. All in all, this was an easy project for me, mostly because I already like zooming. Yes. Good things are good.
