Tell me to stop posting if you're bored of these...

Why is the photo so small? It's 750px wide!

Probably because you hit the 250KB limit on PhotoBucket, so the auto-resize feature kicked in and reduced the dimensions of the saved image enough to bring the filesize under the limit...



But it's only 231KB!

what effect do extension tubes have?



They fit between the camera body and the lens, and allow you to focus much closer, makind the lenses you have much more Macro-like, Te disadvantage is the same as an extention tube in that you loose light gathering ability, effectively stopping down the lens. You keep autofocus throughout the range though.

Martin.

PS - I'd reccomend the cheap Jessops ones that I have, they're great!
