Three different sized extension tubes |
Extension Tubes attach between your camera body and the lens. Sadly, control of aperture and auto focus is forfeited. In order to set an aperture that you prefer, depress the depth of field button as you remove the lens from the camera. The fellow in this video has some good ideas for photographing macro using Extension Tubes -
In order to actually focus - you must physically move your camera, or if the object you are photographing is portable, move the object until it becomes focused. Use of a tripod is handy here!

Pencil moved into focus |
How could you utilise macro photography? I'm thinking some pretty wild abstract stuff! Not only the standard bugs and plant life - how about pencils, soap bubbles, oil & water, shells to name but a few.
