It is surprising how much debris there is on the tip of a pen. I took this with my old Konica 28mm f/3.5 lens, reverse mounted to my Canon Rebel T1i. That's a pencil point in the background.
The flash sneaks around the long lens setup and gets just the corner of my eye.
[50mm F/1.4D mounted face-to-face on 35mm f/2.8 Nikkor-S on D70]
A record shot of my camera with the 18-55 kit lens 'reversed' on the mount - basically, a small metal ring, with a lens mount on one side (which attaches to the camera, just like a lens would) and a standard filter thread on the other end, onto which you attach a lens. The reason for this ridiculous looking setup is that when using a lens backwards, it focusses VERY close (look at this pic that I took with this setup).
It does mean that your camera loses all communication with the lens, so focus, metering etc is all completely manual. And this is doubly tricky on this Nikon kit lens, as there's no aperture ring, so I have to manually move the aperture lever with my finger to guess at the aperture I need! (Typically, wide open to focus, completely closed to shoot as DoF is so small)
Strobist: Interesting one this! I was shooting in a relatively dim room, so needed flash. My pocket camera (Casio Exilim Z750) has an on camera flash, but this was giving horrid shadows... So I got out an optically slaved flash - which fired, but it fired on the pre-flash from the Casio, so didn't contribute to the exposure. The way I took this shot was to shoot in manual with a relatively long shutter, and manually trigger the off camera flash with the test button as soon as I saw the camera flash trigger! Sophisticated off camera trigger? I think so! ;-) (Off camera flash was to camera left to light the front of the D50...)

Reversed 35mm manually stopped down to f/8, 1/180 sec, built-in flash with home made diffuser.
Three shoots focus bracketing, put (roughly) together on Gimp through layer editing and slightly cropped.
Taken in my parents yard. 24mm prime reversed on extension tubes. Hinged hot shoe allows the flash to lean out over the lens stack and a DIY snoot with diffusion.
Shot using 18-55mm and 50mm reversed. I am using two flash set up each at 45 degrees left and right. Although they light up the spider well, the reflextions are a bit of a problem and spoil this image.
The best reverse mermaid ever, by Xam Tattoos at Seven Doors Tattoo, 6 October 2015. Actual tattooing time: approx 1hr 15mins. (Photo by Xam.)
LHS:
All green is Pearl No 5 and the orange is some thick cotton. The orange in the top tow is mirrored for the loops.
RHS
Top row has some textured yarn for the loops
LHS circle – done in a circle with one row of loops
RHS ditto but 2 rows of loops
These cable cars are old... they only go forward... the only way to turn them around so they can go back up the hills is to manually turn them. Kinda fun to watch the process which is surprisingly fast.

Garter Snake scales, this snake was tucked into a wood pile, one coil was exposed. Taken in my parents yard. 24mm prime reversed on extension tubes. Hinged hot shoe allows the flash to lean out over the lens stack and a DIY snoot with diffusion.
My 2nd pinafore, I revamped the pattern.The great Owl fabric is Japanese. The reverse side is from a vintage sheet that I love and I think it works pretty well with the owls. It looks so cute on my daughter Lily! Oh and the buttons are vintage as well.
