"Alas, poor Faker! I knew him well!"
Featured on Life in Plastic: nerditis.com/2014/08/20/life-in-plastic-toy-review-new-ad...
On Sunday, the South Devon Railway celebrated their 40th anniversary of re-opening after being closed by British Rail. If I had to choose my all time favourite location for steam shots, then this spot just up from Riverford Bridge on the river Dart would probably be it. On a day with warm sunshine and little wind to disturb the reflections in the river, it is surely very hard to beat.
It's also worth mentioning that the train is going from right to left as we look at the shot (note the direction of the steam). This is because the driver is sat in the end carriage with controls that link back to the engine allowing him to operate it remotely. The poor old fireman is left on his own in the cab to shovel coal by himself.
It appears the writer is discussing the aircraft on the reverse, but I cannot make out but a few of the words in German.
Guess what have I done? Macro with reversed lens!!
just for a fun experiment, I've read a lot about taking pictures with reversed lens, so I tried it, and that was the result (cropped).... :))
Now if you have DSLR and zoom lens, take your zoom lens and attached it reversed to the camera in some way (even if you needed to hold it with your hand, but that will make it a little shaky, as I did :P .... but you'll links bellow ) you will see the difference at once, of course the camera will get confused "what in the world is going on?!?" but it will be a good baby and will take the picture anyway.
so, the differences you'll see:
- you won't need to be far from the subject, at the contrary you will have to get close to it.
- you might need more light than usual, or you'll have to increase the ISO, but of course more grain in the result, here I captured in the direct sunlight, and needed to increase the ISO to 200, just one step might be enough.
- one important thing is to put some soft safe folded paper in the aperture opening of the lens to keep it open wide, be careful!
- and you have to use manual mode for sure.
as for what the poor baby camera will record in the EXIF data:
Exposure: 0.013 sec (1/80)
Aperture: f/1.0
No Focal Length
ISO Speed: 200
Lens:....... "are you kidding me? I'm doing all the work by myself!!"
so what you'll see is a funny bokeh and very shallow cool DOF (that you won't see much details either, LOL!!)
I'm still doing experiments and learning each result to find the best adjustments :)
Very important: be careful from the dust not get into your camera, try to choose a clean and un-dusty place as much as possible.
Here is a way of how to attach the lens reversed to the camera.

and Here for all about macro and many ways to photograph it.

Took this with a reverse ring fitted to an old 18-55 kit lens instead of a normal macro.The colours are actually a packet of Monster Munch lying under the glass dish
Except for re-sizing to 8 x 12 and assigning a different color profile (from sRGB 1966.2 to Adobe RGB 1998 for the photo/editing geeks out there) this is an unedited photo. Great color, texture, and depth-of-field - didn't need to adjust any layers at all.

Wow. It actually worked. Reversing the 50mm prime can work as a macro lens. Cool!
These photos were not cropped :D

Davenport Beach, CA.
I revisted one of my favorite locations over the holiday weekend and was rewarded with some really nice light. The holiday weekend brought plenty of beachgoers and at one point or another nearly all of them made their way into my frame. But that's just how it goes, and as long as I can manage to get a few good shots I don't mind too much.
I really like this location because when the tide is right, this creek flows both ways! It's fun to just sit and watch and wait for the surf to make it's way up into this crevice. Sometimes you will see adventurous visitors climbing into this slippery creek to explore the cave that lies just a few feet upstream, but it can be risky as rogue waves sporadically inundate it. The last time I tried it, I got a great shot but managed to slip and fall into the water as I was leaving. Anyway, I'm pleased to report there were no mishaps on this evening!

Still exploring the Queen's Park area of University of Toronto's campus and the former McLaughlin Planetarium surroundings, I came across a long 53-foot semi-truck needing to reverse out from a loading area through a narrow and winding side-road.
One can imagine to reverse a long semi-lorry is so easy task, never mind on a narrow and winding roadway. The tractor had to get on the curb in the final reverse-turn.
(See last image in the series)
Alas! That led to a complication. The drive axle became hung and airborne and could not provide traction. The tractor became stuck for 10 minutes before a solution was found.
Soldiers catch a moment of leisure on a "reverse slope" out of enemy sight.
Reverse Slope
Painted by Ted Zuber in 1978
War Art by Edward (Ted) Zuber
Ted Zuber, an 18-year-old art student, enlisted in the Royal Canadian Regiment in 1950. He fought in Korea as a parachutist and as a sniper until wounded by a grenade in 1952. Zuber's numerous sketches of Korea served as the basis for 15 war-themed paintings. In 1991, he was appointed an official war artist and documented Canadian participation in the Persian Gulf conflict.
"We should never forget why we went to war and what we had to sacrifice to achieve so-called victory.... You don't have to relish it. You don't have to wallow in it. We don't have to put up too many monuments. But let's not forget it because that would be stupid."
Ted Zuber, 27 July 1999

This little spider was a great subject, stayed frozen in place while I took a number of shots. Taken with a 24mm reversed onto extension tubes. Flash is on a hinged hot shoe and leaned out over the end of the lens stack. A DIY snoot fires the light in front of the lens.
The water is a bit salty in this area, so I've invested in a ROM, or Reverse Osmosis Machine. It makes just over 2/3 gallon of water.
