IshtiaQ Ahmed revival to Photography
Reverse Lens
the most beautiful thing about the photography is that there is always something new to learn. As some wise man said, "“There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself.
Last week, when we gathered around the flower pots, I see some elders doing strange things.... Reversing the lens... I only heard about that, but now I have seen how they do it... Reverse lens can give you magnification that far surpasses 1:1 magnification and cost is next to nothing. Simply attach the lens the opposite direction.
To do this there are a couple of methods ranging from hand holding the lens in position, taping the lens on, implementing pvc pipes, or simply buying a reverse lens mount. But there is a price to pay for this...
No auto focus. All focusing will be done manually so you really want prime lens to make the process a bit easier.
Manual lenses are good. Because your camera will have no way of communicating to your lens (to change the aperture) you will be shooting wide open at all times. Having an older lens where you can control the aperture manually will give a little bit more control.
I am not into it, yet... But I would try it sooner or latter. But Mr. Shaukat Niazi is all drowned into this reverse lens technique for sure...
