Octohip: Day 74


It might be a sign that I've been deprived of the ocean for too long when a shriveled up wild rose hip reminds me of an octopus. What do you think? I don't own a macro lens, so for this shot I used a hollow 25mm extension tube, which essentially turns any lens into a macro lens by moving it 25mm further away from the camera sensor. This enables the lens to focus at a closer distance, thus increasing the magnification of the subject. Extension tubes are a cheap alternative to true macro lenses, and can yield equally satisfactory results.
