Close up Set up

Canon 70D 18-135mm lens with close up filter attached
I have discovered that I enjoy Macro photography. Unfortunately, a macro lens is not inexpensive. I read somewhere about a poor man's macro photography setup which consists of buying close up filters that thread onto the lens itself. I tested it out on a bougainvillea bush and was pretty pleased with the results. 









This is my set up. About three years ago I was looking to upgrade my photography equipment. I had a Canon power shot and I wanted a little more control over the process so I bought a Canon 70D. I heard good things about it and it was a DSLR that fit my budget. I'm overall very happy with the camera and I am glad I decided to spend the money on it.

My lenses consist of a 18-135mm, 50mm, and a 14mm which I use mainly for astrophotography. I also have a few closeup filters for getting a macro effect without having a macro lens.
