My friend bought some extension tubes for macro photography, and combined with his 50mm lens, produced this great photo (I just cropped and PPed it). Of course, he was gracious enough to let me post it here.
Thanks, man!

I was thinking on buying some macro lenses, but I’m thinking on buying extension tubes instead because I could use them with basically any lens!

Nice one. The faces on money are always fun to shoot macro. The narrow DOF can really make them seem 3D. I did one of ol’ chairman Mao’s face a while back. My local currency (Rands) is mostly animals though.
That’s right. And your pics look great too.
Just getting into extension tubes myself, Juan! Nice super-duper-macro!
Glad you liked it, Tracy! But all the credit goes to my friend
Ha! Oh, right! See how much I pay attention?? Me just saw cool macro photo; me don’t care who take it!
Oh, no problem
It’s happened to me also.
I’m telling you, when I get my extension tubes, I’ll be taking macro photos like crazy :p
