After buying your first DSLR, your first instinct may be to go out to your garden or local park to take photos of flowers, butterflies, or even the fresh morning dew on the leaves. However, you may feel frustrated because you can't get close enough to your subject to capture the image you really want! There is nothing more challenging in photography than seeing an image in your head and not being able to capture it in your camera! In your quest to get the perfect shot, you may find that a macro lens is just what you need, but the $1000-$1800 price range is not in your budget.
The solution: $55 extension tubes! Adding an extension tube to any lens will allow you close the distance and get closer to your subject. By moving the lens away from the sensor and letting you get closer, it enlarges the image. For very little money, you can produce great results with your kit lens. An 18-55mm is the perfect size to capture that eye popping detail of the rays of the sun on the dew drops! As spring emerges, there is no better time than the present to start shooting all of the beauty that nature has to offer this time of year.
