I'm a bit confused about the extension tube thing, I sorta understand the 
extension tube changes the focal length, so how does that allow you to take 
close up images like this with a 50MM..

I'm using a stock E500 lens that came with the kit, I think it is a 14-45MM but 
I cannot seem to get a closeup like this on some of the wildflowers here. 

I was taking pictures around here all morning, we are closing this mine for 2 
years, and I might not be back, so I am taking lots of images of the 
landscapes.. later today I will be underground to take images of the ice they 
were blasting out of the existing tunnel, apparantly it is some pretty 
spectacular thing, bands and ribbons of ice with huge holes in it from the 
brine water..

Cheers.. Tim

No plans to do any photography this afternoon, just listening to the

But, a ladybird flies in & lands on the desk so I might as well grab a few
pics - http://archaeoimages.com/ladybird/
Taken with the e-1 & a zuiko 50mm f3,5 with a 25mm extension tube (apart
from the first one) - lens stopped open & ISO set to 800.
The last pic is of a second individual - appears to be covered in fungus -
any entomologists among us who can provide a diagnosis?
Anyway, just wanted to show somebody (& there's nobody home but me).
