I'm still experimenting with the reverse macro techniques. In this case, I reversed a Minolta manual 50mm lens onto my Sony 70-300mm 'G'. The DOF is pretty shallow, and the results became unusable when the lens was zoomed to 300mm, but this shot, SOOC, was taken a little wider, at 70mm, at which focal lengths, the images are much more usable.

This is the black packing foam Dell used to send me my new laptop battery. I've found it's a pretty good height for the double lens reverse macro photos I've been taking, and I decided to try taking a photo of the foam to see how it'd look.
I was pleasantly surprised.
This double lens reverse macro shot was 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. That means the image you see here is on a scale six times smaller than the sensor on the D80...the entire frame of this uncropped image would be approximately 3.9 x 2.6 mm, meaning every millimeter in real life is represented by just under 1,000 pixels in the full image, and a square millimeter is represented by just under a million pixels. A lot of detail for not a lot of space.)
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. As you can see, only a thin layer of the foam is actually in focus. I use an SB-800 off camera to get enough light. This is the unedited JPEG image, straight out of the camera.
You can see the black foam in this photo underneath the lens. (On the white piece of paper above it is an ant that's about two millimeters (2mm) that I'm trying to photograph. The ant is alive and crawling around, which made it take a couple of tries.

2010/06/17: Shoot wide open today. Make a creative photo that uses a shallow depth of field to good effect. #ds214
teeny sprinkles (my reversing ring has arrived!)
sooc!
there's a sort of big gap in my 365 as you know...they'll be up for your viewing once i can dig out my car and go to the drug store.
Today I thought it was time to clean up my vegetable garden. Any garner will tell you if you want mint plant it in a container. If you don't the mint is very invasive and it will take over your garden. I saw that the only green left over from last year was the mint which was beginning to bud. I moved it to a container next to the house. While I pulled the rest the runners came up easily so I may be alright. The garden is basically a raised 4 by 8 space so even if the mint continues to grow it will be easy to control. Since I replanted the mint I pulled it was time for some reverse macro photography.

I know its not quite crisp but I soo liked the back light thru the hairs on both the bee and the pumkin vine. check out the bags of pollen on this greedy guys legs!!
Reverse macro 50mm hand held no adapter - straight on to camera
I've not done a macro in a really long time, so I thought I would give another stack a go. This is a common house spider, shot at about 4:1 made up of a total of 64 frames.
Overall, I am not overly impressed with the quality of this one.
No, those are not grapes, they are the top of the center of a small flower.

To get a better idea of the scale of the photo, this photo shows same flower.
(DSC_7675)
Shot with pentax 28mm @ f/16 reverse mounted to a Canon 300D, 1/250, iso 400, 580ex flash at full (1/1) with stoffen omnibounce and home made macro diffuser (side of plastic 1 gal milk jug - extending from lens to above flash head).
Uncropped
Inspired by Brian aka bojangles_1953. Since I don't have a real macro lens or extension tubes I used my reverse macro filter to mount my 50mm lens on backwards. It gives a macro effect, but with a very narrow depth of field, which is why mine are not as sharp throughout as Brian's are.
decided to try my hand at reverse macro.
i attached my crappy sigma 70-300 to the camera and held my canon 50 1.4 up to it.
Just a test shot with my new 50mm Prime FD f1.8 lens i bought for £15. Love the reflection of the camera in the middle if you look closely or click larger image below.
Great results already, taken with a Canon 550D reversed with the lens with a reverse ring.

Boring reverse macro shot of a DVD. I was feeling so lazy so I just grabbed a DVD and took this. Meh.
For those of you, if any, who care what DVD this is, it is Twilight New Moon!
Stack of 12 images. Taken with Nikon D800, Edelkrone Action Module (for stepper motor movement), and stacked in Zerene stacking software (pMax).

Tiny little rocks.. Tilt-shift? no, it's really a macro. Sand, from the desert in Australia.. Don't believe me? look here
Okay, it's a little bit soft. Technically I did everything right: Focused with aperture wide, stopped down to f/22. Took the shot using a remote, looked nice and sharp through the viewfinder, and on the lcd screen.. And now it's soft. Something to remember next time.
I addressed a problem of reflected light (bright spot in the middle) inside the tubes by inserting some matt black card paper into each tube. This removed the reflection and bright spot in the middle all together
I shot this with a 50mm lens reversed in front of my 100mm macro lens. It's a really close shot of this flower.
