kind of cool - macro trick

I'm sure some of you already know about this trick but I just tried it out for the first time today:

 

I turned my 50mm lens around and used it to take a macro photo. So cool!!!

 

I read about this on the Coffeeshop blog: www.thecoffeeshopblog.com/2010/09/coffeeshop-tutorial-mic...

 

I understand the risks associated with this (dust, dropping the lens, etc) and its not something I see myself doing very often but I wanted to at least try it out.

 

It seems there is a very small window to get the focus just right. I took 15 shots and got only one that was usable. Again, not something I will be doing often but still pretty cool.
