Yesterday arrived my package that I was waiting for, remember I told you that I don't have enough money to invest in a lens for Macro photography, so the easiest and fastest way to start in this discipline, was to order some extension tubes for my Canon camera.

At the beginning I thought about saving some money from my post's rewards, then I found a very cheap set, so much so that I had to include a set of 3 circular filters of 49mm for my Canon 50mm f1.8. lens and get the benefit of free shipping from Amazon.

You can see one of the filters in the next image, although the truth is not of them I want to talk about today, what I wanted was the extension tubes for macro photography so let's go to that.

The extension tubes, as you can see they are removable, everything depends on what you want to get in each picture.

And since I have no idea how to use them, it's time to practice and learn. I started with the smallest one, which is marked as 13mm, mounted on the camera it looks like this

Using the tripod I took the following photographs.

This image surprised me, since I took it without using the tripod and I still think it looks very good.

It was time to put the 3 extension tubes and see what result I can get.

And here are the pictures.

When I saw the design of the extension tubes and reading the description, they were supposed to be only compatible with the AF in lenses of the EF line, like the 50mm, but as I lost nothing trying to use an EF-S lens like the 55-250mm, I was surprised that they also work and very well.

The following images were taken with the 55-250mm lens.

And as you can imagine, the best of all was the image of the beginning.

I took more pictures but the truth is that if I put them here it would be a very heavy post, I had to reduce a bit the quality in each one of them to not saturate the post, what do you think? Any recommendation for Macro Photography
