I bought some extension tubes and this is my first attempt at using them. I combined them with my 100mm macro. It's hard to believe how close to the model I had to get to take this shot. It must be a little daunting to have a camera that close to you. And while I was taking the pictures, all I could think was, "Wow, look at those twitching lips, I'll never get them in focus." Each little movement looked huge in the viewfinder. Turns out that many of the images were in focus, thanks to the tripod!
Editing is a little tricky. I fought between wanting to keep it realistic while also not freaking people at with what looked like insanely huge lines and bumps. I probably went a little soft on this, but I like it.
Side note: the shape of the lips totally reminds me of the Rolling Stone lips.
