"Add On" Lenses are Awesome for Tank Photos!

[NanoKat]

Okay, I've had the camera (Fuji S7000) for quite a while now and it came with a couple of add on lenses. From what was written on the barrels of these lenses, one was for macro and the other was a wide angle. I just noticed the other day that there was one part of one of these lenses that said "2x" on it...and I wondered what would happen if I popped it on the camera with the macro adapter...well, this is what happened...

And to my dismay, amidst my excitement about doubling my macro capabilities, I set the camera to 1mp...duh!!! I must have accidentally hit just the right combination of buttons to do it. So now I have to try to replicate these photos in order to enlarge them like I want to. Easier said than done.

I highly recommend that if you have a digital camera with macro capabilities and add on lenses are available, check them out. They're worth their weight in gold!

Were those shot hand held or did you use a tripod? Very nice work!

I'm a lazy bum, so I don't like to drag out lots of equipment to shoot on the spur of the moment. I just shot mine handheld. I'm looking into getting a monopod, just so it's not so cumbersome to shoot with.

Great job for hand held!
