Was looking for Macro subjects with my reverse mounted 50mm lens, when this Snail captured my attention. Looked hard at this Mollusc's slimy, gooey and sticky body but I could not find its eyes. Later learnt that a Snail's eyes are in its Antennae.
I have an other shot where it trains its antennae in the same fashion as a Bull would at a Matador in a Bull fighting Arena.
A worm on the rose. Shot with a reverse mounted 18-55 kit lens. Made a hole in the body cap and fixed a conversion ring to it to get a reverse lens adapter.
ISO 200 - 50mm - f/1.8 - 1/3200
Another attempt at a reverse Macro shot! This one turned out fairly well. This afternoon after hours of downpour the sky parted and spots of blue poked through. I took advantage and shot outside to a walk way near my apartment to see if there was anything interesting to shoot! I found this beauty... :)
Done using reverse macro technique with Canon FD 50mm lens attached to the A710 with the Canon adapter.
Hopefully, I will get a chance to do this with my new Canon 30d once I get (or can afford to get) the 100mm macro lens - should be a lot sharper as well!
...and we're back to no color again!
I've been very busy today, so this simple reverse macro shot was all I had time for :)

Baby praying mantis I found in our yard. So cool!

I don't even know what bug this is, but you can see the bug lying on it's back, legs twitching, in this photo. This photo is the bug's face, as seen while the bug is on his back.
This is 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. 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, 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. I use an SB-800 off camera to get enough light. This is the unedited JPEG image, straight out of the camera.
I recently heard about the "reverse macro" technique (turning your lens backwards) so I thought I'd give it a shot. Found it hard to get good focus, but still fun!
Now this image was truly hard to get, waiting for the tap to drip - genuine patience, then getting the shot and seeing it out of focus - genuine frustration, getting a shot in focus - priceless !

Good timing.
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.
Clearing out my 2010 files and finding a few keepers. These are all reverse 50mm macros.
Any guesses what this is? It's an every day item.
Here's the final image i got of the little Jumper with the mite being gobbled up :-)
Again, not sure if it is actually a mite or aphid, but i don't have a clue what it was so i'm going with that.
For a better view please VIEW ON BLACK.
Cheers.

The first is always the one you work from in my opinion - but - in this case i was lucky and got a shot which i thought was good enough to upload to Flickr.
The lighting was done with a 60Watt lamp over head with my flash to the side of the camera at 1/4th the power, ISO at 100 as with most or all of my pictures to bypass light blur and smudge of colours...
I love moth structure and i think this is a Treble lines moth, correct me please if i am wrong.
This picture was taken at F16 with a 28mm F2.8 FD lens reversed onto my Canon 550d with a reverse ring.
Lighting was externally done with a lamp and flash at 1/4th the power.
Thanks to the amazing experts at Project Noah for the ID:
We were up north on the May 2 - 4 (that's kinda Canadian for Memorial Day -- we just do the Remembrance Day in November), and my brother called me over to look the book he was reading... this little guy was sitting on it with seemingly no concern at all. I went inside, grabbed my camera, and got a few shots -- I thought I had two that would stack, but alas, they were not quite there. If I had noticed the colors while shooting, I would certainly have attempted a capture-shoot-and-release effort, but this spider looked pretty plain! From the back he's mostly black with a white mo-hawk stripe down its back. After a minute or so, he got bothered by the gigantic camera and repeated flashes and started to dart around in a bit of a frenzy, so I let him go straight away.
It's amazing what you don't see when a moth lands on you, close up it seems to have a brush or brisstly layer of fur, amazing.
Taken with a 28mm FD lens reversed onto the Body of a Canon 550D with external flash at 1/16th power.
Shutter speed 1/160 and ISO at 200 - 400.
