Playing with my Canon 100mm Macro Lens with a 2x teleconverter

Here's some of mine taken with large f numbers and long exposures using a 150mm macro.

Hi sphelps

Very nice pics and great suggestions! I was shooting by merely pressing
the lens against the glass, without the tripod. I was hoping not have to but
you're right. I'll have to bring out the tripod and also be a bit
more patient to get a greater DOF. I'll try it out in the next couple days.

BTY, what's your take with teleconverters and using extension tubes along with it?
