Macro with bellows
After reading our extreme macro photography on a budget, quite a few of our readers were wondering how they can take their new-found obsessions further - what if you want to go more extreme? What if you aren’t on a shoestring budget?
Our friend Kjeld Olesen has all the answers - Bellows is where it’s at if you want to go into extreme macro.
You can pick up a set of bellows from your local camera shop, and they should be available in used photography stores as well, at reasonable prices. You can’t argue with Olesen’s results, and he even provides a super-handy guide how to fit the Olympus bellows he has to an EOS fitting. Nifty.
Have you read my Macro book?
I am rather proud of the fact that I have written a book about macro photography. It looks like that →
Hang on, did I just say a book? Sorry about that. All modesty aside, it's the book on macro photography. It's got a huge chapter on equipment, tons of info about the various styles and topics, a chapter on lighting, and even a chapter on digital darkroom stuff especially for macro photography.
Seriously, this book is 288 pages long, and it's got everything you ever wanted to know. And loads you probably didn't want to know, but that might come in useful anyway.
Get your copy of the book from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk today! If you prefer, you can buy a signed copy directly from me from this page.

Or you can make a lens kinda like the one I made. It is a combination of stacking rings and extension tubes.
