I frequently get asked about my macro gear, so here are some details about what I use. Most of my gear is pretty basic and inexpensive. The extension tubes are a great way to turn your kit lens into a macro lens at a fraction of the cost and all the items featured here cost less than $45 each (with the exception of the Nikon D3100 & 18-55mm lens).
Note: The photos used as examples in this post have been added to the comments section below.
Camera: Nikon D3100
Lens: Varies, but most often my Nikon AF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens.
Extension Tubes: Generic Nikon AF Extension Tubes (Ebay)
Set of 3 (12mm, 20mm & 36mm) total 68mm when used together
Flash: Generic i-TTL flash (Amazon)
Teleconverter: Vivitar Series 1 2x AF 7-Element Teleconverter (Ebay)
Flash Cable: 10' flash extension cable (Amazon)
Sometimes I use a mini tripod from the dollar store to hold the flash in position. Other times I use a flashlight to add some extra light.
I have a set of manual extension tubes that work well and were excellent to learn with but I use my set of AF extension tubes more often. I don't use auto focus when shooting macro; however, the AF extension tubes allow the metering and flash to function which give me a more consistent exposure. It also makes it much easier to get a good macro shot.
I also use a teleconverter to increase the magnification ratio but it is not necessary. The extension tubes paired with my kit lens (18-55mm) give me a usable magnification ratio of about 1.65:1. Adding a 2x teleconverter between the extension tubes and camera body increase the magnification ration to about 3.3:1 (2 x 1.65:1)
Generally, the magnification ratio of a macro photo is 1:1 or greater. This means that the size of the subject when projected on the image sensor would be life size or greater. Imagine taking a photo of a ruler at a magnification ratio of 1:1, the width of the image would be that same width as the image sensor in the camera. For example, a Nikon D3100 image sensor is only 23.1mm across, so an image captured at a magnification ration of 1:1 would only show 23mm of the ruler. So, at magnification ratios of 1.65:1 and 3.3:1 you would get images that were larger than life size and they would only show 14mm and 7mm of the ruler, respectively. (Hopefully this wasn't too confusing)
When taking macro photos, you will generally be working with a limited depth of field (DOF). The DOF is the area of the photo that is sharp and in focus. In the macro range this is usually only a few cm or mm and in general, the DOF will decrease as the magnification ratio increases. In my water drop photo below, the DOF is the area across the leaf, where the largest water drop is in focus. There are several ways to increase the DOF such as stopping down the aperture or using a focus stack.
Stopping down the aperture:
You know how you normally would open the aperture all the way to get that nice out of focus blur and bokeh in the background of your photo? Well, in macro, you want to do the opposite. The DOF can be increased slightly by stopping down the aperture; however, this is at the expense of light. So, when stopping down the aperture, you will need an extra light source (flash or flashlight) to ensure the photo is properly exposed. In my water drop photo, the aperture was stopped down to f/36 to give me enough DOF to get the large water drop in focus and a flash was used to provide the required light.
Focus Stacking:
Focus stacking is an advanced technique that can be used to increase the DOF. This is done by taking many photos of the same subject, each photo would have a different plane of focus and you would stack them with software such as Photoshop. The end result would be the sum of all the in-focus pieces from each of the individual photos, giving you a sharp and in-focus image. My photo below of an ant is an example of a focus stack macro stacked from 29 photos.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. Hopefully it will give you a better understanding of macro photography and encourage you to take some macros of your own. Please post any questions in the comments below and I will do my best to answer them.
Thanks for checking out my photostream!

Mistakes were made: I don't know why I shot at ISO 12,800. I was shooting manual shutter and aperture, and checking my histogram to to judge exposure, but I somehow left the camera in auto ISO. I thought I did a no-flash exposure to make sure there was no natural light, but on reviewing my shots from the day, I can't find it.
I was working through a bad sinus headache, but I should’ve known and done better. Hopefully these are lessons learned.
Strobist info: Godox Xpro wireless trigger firing an AD600 at 1/128 power front left and slightly above the subject and an AD200 at 1/64 power behind right and slightly above the subject. Both were in a no-name 30 inch square softbox.

I know I haven't been here for a while, as I have a life and friends and I don't have time for Flickr. Just wanted to say I'm alright and okay and I haven't forgotten about you guys and those that Kik me. Hope you all have a great summer and what ever and tell me bout what y'all did or are gonna do or whatever else so I can catch up.

It's been almost a month since I seeded my backyard, and it's starting to look pretty good. I made the gravel gutter using rocks I sifted out of the side yard, the border is made out of 12 inch pavers standing on edge, and it works to drain the runoff from the driveway that used to cause a swamp in that corner every time it rained.
On a walk around the city catching on progress. Christchurch April 3, 2016 New Zealand.
Christchurch is ranked alongside New York, Barcelona, Berlin and London as one of the street art capitals of the world in a new Lonely Planet book.
The book names Christchurch as one of 39 cities around the world with a rich street art scene.
It credits the birth of the Christchurch street art scene with the 2011 Canterbury earthquakes and the RISE street art festival and exhibition in 2013.
