Default Jan 27/365 - Tacks

I look these photos with a £5.00 extension tube attached to a 50mm 1.8 lens. It was no easy feat and quite a challenge but I thought they came out ok all things considered. I put these tacks on a plate on top of a pile of books, on top of my ironing board!! The camera was of course mounted on a tripod but that it iself had its own challenges!

Obviously if I had a £600 macro lens the quality would be different.

Enjoy!

Regardless Rachel, I think they've turned out great! The effects you've created are wonderful - I especially love the first.
