The difference between rugby and soccer is that rugby players eat their dead.

If I wanted to be pounded by politics I'd be staring at Facebook right now. How is this going to help me get the most out of my T6?

I leave them on. Otherwise I'd be taking them on and off constantly between shots.

I use darktable which is a free , open source , cross platform light room lookalike. I use in Windows 10 and Linux mint 19.1. Google search darkroom.

A little from a newb. Actually shot this in 2013 with a Fuji s602Z bridge camera, FL 8mm, f3.2, 1/125, ISO200. I had just stopped raining.

As a newbie on a tight budget I'm currently getting my feet wet with darktable 2.6 in Windows and using an old version of PS (7.0). My daughter is invested in LR and a current version of PS. Darktable looks to me to be a virtual clone of LR. Am I missing something? I'm also running darktable in Linux on the same machine and bit seems a tad quicker. I also have Gimp on this pc. Which to my mind Is much too unintuitive as compared to the old version of PS. I appreciate everyone's input, there's alot of info to mull over.

Good suggestion. I'd like to try a no lens version of the MD to EOS adapter as they are advertised as macro only or at least no infinity focus. I'm curious as to how close I can get to the subject with just the adapter and 50 mm lens. I realize the tubes are a closer focus.

No, not true macro. But can be cropped down and retain a good amount of detail. I just mentioned it in case you had to wait before buying a good macro lens. I recommend longer focal lengths if you are doing critters that will spook if you get too close! 105mm is good, I have a 150mm macro lens because I love to do butterflies, bees, ants, etc.
Good point, I was focused (pun intended) on the hardware , yes these images should respond well to a fair amount of cropping.
Thanks for the reminder 😊.

You don't say what lenses you have besides the 50mm. If you have a longer telephoto, like 70-300mm, you can use that for close-up shots. Not as good as with a true macro lens, but still get great magnification and bokeh.
Glad you brought that up. The kit lenses are the 18 -55 is and the 75-300 zoom which I've tried. Good close ups but not really what I'd consider in the macro range.

I've done a fair amount of business with over the years. No camera equipment, mostly computer components. Always had good luck with them.

Great info everyone, thanks to all of you for passing on your experience. Sounds like there's a "gazillion" different ways to accomplish the task, some better, some preferred. Not sure which way I'm going, though, right now I'm leaning toward a "no glass" adapter for the MD 50mm 1.7 to get started. The current adapter w/glass was purchased from Adorama for about $40.00. With which I've done a few test shots. IMHO, it compares favorably to the Canon 18-55 kit lens, as a general photography piece, benefiting, I'm sure from the lower f-stop capability, so I think for the time being I'll leave the glass in the adapter. I'm a little leary of reversing the MD lens. Not sure I like exposing the inside glass to the elements. As I get further into this, I'll try to post some images and we'll see. Hopefully others will gain from the experience as well. Thanks again for sharing your expertise.
