Very cool. The light in this photo is very good as well.

Very nice. I've looked at extension tubes before but haven't picked any up. Which ones did you buy? Are you happy with how they work?

I bought these Opteka

from Amazon. They work great, very pleased. Auto Focus even works when you stack two of them together...put the third on and it doesn't work anymore though...
Great for studio stuff, not good for live stuff like bugs, because when you put the tubes on the camera the lens only has a couples inches or less of total focal range.
Cheap and great for studio stuff on a tripod though...I'd recommend them with those thoughts in consideration.
