Bereft of any specialized macro equipment, I decided to shoot a photo as close I could focus and crop it down later. This shot is of a pocket-watch my grandfather gave me. The photo was taken with a Canon T2i and a 18-55mm kit lens. I attempted to make a macro flash diffuser using a poster tube, rubber bands, and wax paper. This did not work very well with the pop-up flash. This particular shot was lit by taking that make-shift flash diffuser and putting it over a mag light.
