Macro attempt, weird setup. But it works, I think -

Been a while since I have posted anything... So here we go -
Tried a new setup with my macro lens -
Basically you can NOT put a 2X Tele on the 100mm L canon F2.8 macro -
The protrusion from the 2X tele hits the back glass. Soooo -
I decided to put a vivitar 13mm extension tube on the 2X tele. Only problem was -
it was a square opening, filed it down to fit the round Tele protrusion ... Fits perfect!
Here's the rig, photo's to come soon -
They are here hopefully, I'm trying and learning!
I love the little things living, especially jumping spiders! when I can find them....
Enjoy - Darren....
All shot with a GODOX flash hand held, with a pancake diffuser that makes me look like a lightbulb...LOL
The dead Bee at my door was a three shot focus stack hand held also. He gave his life so I could eat honey..!!

Excellent work. Gotta love macros. During this Covid time, I’ve probably looked at every leaf in my backyard looking for such opportunities. Thanks for sharing.

I consider this almost macro with the 150 to 600 Tammy. But I want my/the 300mm F2.8L IS II USM also..
Give's me a 5.6 600 crystal clear. This is all I could get on a budget...still saving -
From a distance..
Swapped back to the 100mm Macro for last two. The thumb was cell phone.
Spider wanted nothing to do with me, as I with him... He lived

The older I get, the farther South I go... I am originally from Wisconsin. About 200 miles Northwest of Green Bay. It's easier to stay cool in Summer than stay warm in Winter... My youngest moved to Montana 3 years ago. We only visit him in the Summer. My wife lived in Canada for a while and she feels the same...

Actually, the local joke is that the area of Montana that I live in is "the Banana Belt" - we did hit 40 below a couple of years ago...
