Great news Trevor, i think once you get used to them you will become hooked into the insight of the (what i call it) the "Little world".

Hey Trevor you wont believe what them extension tubes will do to your lenses, best thing Miss T has taught me so far. Must find some subjects when it stops raining!

EY UP Bev,
have been meaning to read this for days now and have only just got round to it (sorry).

Very well written and everything explained easily without loads of technical jargon,after reading twice though it has only confirmed one of the most important things that i think i already knew!!! you really do need to have an unfaltering commitment to your subject (which you seem to have in abundance).

As i have found with Landscape Photography you need to get up early day after day and revisit again and again,i tend to get up for sunrise 2/3 weekends in a row and become disheartened after returning with shots i'm not happy with and not bother for a few weeks,so it really is a testament to you and your Photo's for having this unwavering commitment and passion...

Regards Steve.

Thanks Steve your comments mean alot

i think most genres of photography need a form of commitment, passion and a tad of madness

to succeed in getting that much wanted picture, (more of the latter i think in most cases!) and i know that feeling of total failure and a loss of motivation when things dont work out, im going through a bit of that now, i think mainly because of the continuous lousy weather we are having, and just not getting the time i want to put in over the last week or so, but hey! i suppose thats what keeps us coming back and wanting more challenges and subjects to find.

Once again thanks Steve for taking the time to read it.

regards
Bev. (aka Miss T)

Len im so glad that you are enjoying the Ext tubes! they really are a great piece of kit, im looking forward to seeing some of your work with them.

I just googled Extension tubes, and looked around for the cheapest on line, but as Denny says, Warehouse Express are reliable.
