This weekend has been nice. The only things that I’ve done are grocery shopping yesterday morning, lunch with Corinne’s parents today and I took some photos this morning.

Since I’m rather obsessed lately with macro work, I’m going to share a few shots.

The first two are of my watch (duh) taken with my Canon 100mm Macro w/ a 36mm extension tube.

The next two are of a half dollar I had laying around. Both are shot with the 100mm Macro, but the first uses the 36mm extension tube and the second is with a total of 68mm of extension tubes (36 + 20 + 12).

I was quite surprised at how little detail the half dollar had until I got a good close look at it. I guess that’s the magic of macro photography – it forces you to reevaluate the world around you – even if it’s just one coin at a time.

None of the photos were cropped – just resized for the web.
