Trying to get creative with photography while being unable to leave home, I realised that I never tried my macro extension tubes on an actual macro lens (had bought them to use on a standard zoom lens and figured I wouldn't need them after buying a macro lens). I was surprised to find that it worked very well and allowed a magnification ratio quite more dramatic than 1:1.
So I tried it on some scarves I have who have interesting textiles (and on other subjects which I'll share in later posts).
Flax-linen scarf:
An alpaca wool scarf my friend made me:
Thick merino wool scarf:
Silk scarf (significantly cropped; the fibers are much smaller than wool):
Yak wool scarf:
Yes, I have too many scarfs (useful though for Canada's wide range of temperatures).
The beastly look my camera had with the extension tubes and ring flash:
The camera is a Sony a77 and the lens a 90mm Tamron f/2.8 macro.
