Snapped a couple of shots of the bumble bees in my mom's flower garden while I was home over the weekend. Used a reverse 50mm.
Vivitar 75-300mm @ 75mm @ f22 + Reverse held Zuiko 50mm @ f1.8 + FL360 off camera flash, handheld!
Thought i'd try it as had read up on it! :)
This tiny tomato was the size of a small marble!
(75-300mm @ 300mm + 50mm handheld = no chance!) :)
I got my reverse macro adapter in today, and needed a subject to play around with. Roger's recent sea salt photo inspired me to see what I could do with table salt. I thought this was the best of several variations on the theme.
This was taken with the $70 Canon 50mm prime reverse-mounted on the end of the Canon Digital Rebel XT kit lens, an 18-55mm zoom. The captured image has a bit of vignetting, but it 's better than any other combination I could find, and makes a nice square or sideways crop. Some experimenting taking shots of a ruler showed that I'm getting down to only about 20.5mm in the frame, which by my math is just over the traditional 1:1 ratio that turns a mere closeup into a macro shot.
These were taken using a tripod and lit with a hot bright halogen utility light, since the lens ends up so close to the subject that it shades most of the ambient room light. I used a small aperture and longish exposure to work around the wide-open softness issues the kit lens has. The reversed prime, of course, was wide open but there wasn't much I could do about it.

An Australian Shepherd puppy molar shot with a reverse macro setup. This dog has a serious overbite. You can see some wear to the outer edge of the tooth from another tooth rubbing against it. She's going to need some serious ortho work.
Nikon D90 with 50mm 1.8 set at f16 shot through a reversed 75-300 set at f4.5 and 100mm. All hand held and manually focused!
Gemma got to keep her makeup brushes when she quit her job at Smashbox. She was delighted because they retail at some outrageous price like £40 per brush or something.

This amazing Crustacean has a 8 part segmented exoskeleton body.
Over the past few months, i have been using Macrophotography to get up and personal with a lot of small insects - but not louse.
Their structures are actually more amazing than i though and remind me of sea life, such as krill, or shrimp.
Taken with a 50mm Prime lens reversed on Macro extension tubes.

Found in the garden at home. Possibly a male Opisthoncus polyphemus.
Taken with a reversed 18-55mm kit lens on extension tubes and a home made flash diffuser.
I took these this morning from my garden. Used reverse macro with my 18-55mm lens to get these shots. always just hand held :)
reversed my 50mm f/1.8 and put it in front of my 16-85mm.
i couldn't find a way to attach the 50mm to the 16-85mm so I just held it there with one hand, and used the other hand to press the shutter button.
A brooch to add a decorative touch to my scarves :))

This is a hand-held double lens reverse macro shot taken with my Nikon 70-300mm VR mounted on the D80, with a male-to-male 67mm-52mm ring used to reverse mount my Nikon f/1.4 50mm to the front of the 70-300mm. The 70-300mm is set to 300mm, meaning (300mm:50mm) that I'm shooting at 6x magnification. (The image you see here is six times smaller than the sensor on the D80.)
In order to have any sort of usable DOF, the 70-300mm was set to f/40 by the D80, while the 50mm is manually set to f/1.4 with the aperture ring. I use an SB-800 off camera to get enough light. This is the unedited JPEG image, straight out of the camera. If you think this is an extreme close up, try viewing the detail in the 10M original image.
You can see the 50mm shot of the 5,000 yen bill I used here.
i haven't carried my cameras outside for about a week because of my terrible cold.
unfortunately i was forced to stay home and couldn't get any japanese new year's scene during holidays. sigh...
but now i'm ok! hope i can capture many lovely scenes in 2007~~~!

Gemma got me some Star Trek cufflinks for Christmas... Eek my secret love of Star Trek is now not so secret! Ok, it's nothing to be ashamed of especially after the last film. Anyway, felt a bit uninspired again today so tried a bit of reverse macro. Thankfully the lighting was bright enough that I could shoot at a reasonably fast speed. Reverse macro is really difficult, I should get one of the adaptors, I think it might make things easier.
I always think of that old movie 'Alien' when I look at these pods ;))))) truth can be stranger than fiction. . .
