got my wide angle lens and my macro tubes today, they actually got delivered yesterday but i wasn't in so got delivered to the next door neighbor,

 

Anyway thought id give it ago while i still had natural light as im missing a ring light system for my DSLR (its a ring light that fits on the end of the lens)

 

Anyway, had to do some experimenting due to using shutter speed to get the required light, first attempt was this tiny snail on my balcony and even though its daylight out there, i had to use a slow shutter, with the macro lens on, auto focus and aperture settings are useless, as the rings sit between the body of the camera and the lens its self, severing the electrical connections so everything is manual.

 

Anyway, here it it.

 

so first photo, had to trade light gathering for shutter speed as the snail was moving so would blur if the shutter wasn't fast enough.

 

 

Snail on my finger (you can get an idea just how small it was here)
