I recently purchased a set of extension tubes so that I can do even closer close up shots. I haven't had time to play much with them but I thought today it would be fun to take a photo of the same leaf using each tube so we could compare. It does make a difference, and considering I am not and probably will never be a professional photogragher I am happy to spend a fraction of the cost of an actual macro lense. I look forward to taking some jewelry shots using them!
Other than resizing the pics a little bit there was no editing or cropping of these photos.

The most difficult part was staying still enough to get the shot, I also tried to take the same shots of a flower but with me AND the plant moving it was tough. Next time I'll get out my tripod, that'll at least take my movement out of the equation.
