Just like it takes practice to learn to use an extension tube or a macro lens, it also takes practice for us to stop and see beauty in small things. Jesus taught us the importance of small things in many ways; when he pointed out the beauty of the flowers on the hillside; when he made time for the little children; when he taught us that when we show care to the "least of these" we are showing care to him. So as we walk through the world, help us look at the small things and see all the beauty God has for us there.
Macro photography is a way of capturing the beauty in very small things, a way of magnifying the subject to see the great detail. This is my first try with the extension tube that I bought to do Macro photography. An extension tube is sometimes called a poor man's macro lens. It is basically a hollow tube with camera connections that you put between your camera and your lens, with the result of increasing the focal length of your lens, thereby allowing you to focus in more closely to the subject. This is my first try at learning to use it. My subject is a flower from a decoration we used for a shower for one of my daughter's friends. I want to get good at using it before spring flowers begin to bloom.
