Hugs and Kisses

16. July 2009 by David.

If you like taking pictures of flowers (this is a ‘Hugs and Kisses’ dahlia), or anything small, and have a DSLR camera one of the handiest things to have is a extension tube, they usually come in sets of three. They allow you to get much closer than a normal lens. Be aware,  they can shrink your depth of field and even throw off your auto focus, but used carefully can result in some spectacular photos. You can pick up a set of non-automatic ones for a very reasonable price.

The next best thing and will even work on many more advanced point and shoot cameras are close-up lenses that attach to the front of your cameras lens.They have some limitations as well, including possible blurring around the edges, just keep that in mind when you frame the photograph. These tend to be relatively inexpensive, but the results……..
