These range from close-up to macro.  All were taken with the extension tube on various lenses.  Used just the kitchen lights and long exposures.  The hard part was keeping Jaryd from climbing the tripod.

Brush Jaryd wanted me to take a picture of this.

Lily Still haven't killed the lily yet!

    Nice take on the challenge Lowe. For some reason, I liked the keys and the button best.

    Nice job. Tubes are fun and a great way to get into macro at a very reasonable price. Even with my macro lens I still use the tubes on other lenses. You got great depth on the lily shot!

    - Oh Bull!

    Excellent set, love the lily shot. The lily must be a hardy plant, we've tried freezing and dehydrating and flooding ours, and it is still blooming!

    Yes, the lily is a hardy plant--to me there is a message there (persevere)--I like the one of the lily and keys best...in brush would not have know what it was w/o your info.

    Get a load of that Sears screwdriver, I always knew you were a craftsman. Nice focus on your shots, esp the brush.

    I loved the screwdriver! Get Jayrd one those My First Camera's, I forget who make them, they take about ten shot and they have to be reset...break him in while he's young maybe he do odd job around the house the for camera gear

    - come over for lunch
