Honeysuckle
I have been off work recently with a bad back and sciatica and as such have been unable to get out and take photographs :( . This left me plenty of time to browse the net espescially Ebay etc for a bit of new gear :) After watching plenty of YouTube clips on Macro and always been amazed by other peoples Macro images, I decided I'd like to give it a go. Not wanting to splash out on a dedicated Macro lens just yet, I opted for a set of extension tubes. This is my first attempt, its just a Honeysuckle shrub we have in the garden. This was shot in aperture priority with a Sigma 17-50 f2.8 on a 12mm extension mounted on a Nikon D7100. Any comments and critique greatly received.
