Macro lens photo

Canon 60D. 55mm, f/22, with EF12, focus at 4 inches.

This is my testing macro photo. I used my pretty old lens on the 60D. The actual size of this car is 1:43. The background is a magazine. And the ground is a bible. I put a desktop light on top of the object. Also used an EF12 extension tube to reduce the focal length from 1.1 ft down to 4 inches. The aperture must be opened as wide as possible, or the field of depth will be extremely shallow. Of course, Camera on tripod is a must. I don't have shutter cable or remote yet, so I just simply use 2 seconds self timer to solve the shaking from pressing shutter. It works for me.
