Day Sixty Eight

68/365 -- Double Lens Reverse Macro

 

Alright, let's play a little game. First to guess the word in it's entirety wins a trip to Bora Bora.

 

I was surfing the net the other day when I stumbled upon "Double Lens Reverse Macro". It's actually quite simple and a lot of fun.

 

For this photo, I had a 70-200mm f/2.8 @ 70mm on the camera. I had another lens, 50mm f/1.8 handheld (with the front element directly infront of the bazooka). At 200mm, I can actually get the dot of the letter "i" to cover up the whole viewfinder.

 

In case you still don't know... This is the lens cap of my 50mm f/1.8 prime. Straight out of the camera, no crop. Vignetting is natural (the aperture of the 50mm was actually at f/1.8) and is actually the barrel of the lens.

 

Strobist info: 1x SB-800 6 inches directly subject left.
