The theme is "Honey I Shrunk the Kids!" Today is the first day of while watching some pretend football I thought I'd have a snack before my cuties go bad. Photo by Lauren Roberts
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.

There is no doubting that the plants thinks it is spring, although I dare say they are in for a rude shock for the next 7 days when the next cold front comes through and anticipated heavy rainfalls.
I managed to get home just as the setting sun cast its golden light onto my wife's Snapdragon. A bit of a mad rush to swap my standard lens for the reverse macro kit and snag this shot before the light disappeared. It has been slightly tweaked in PSE to bring out more of the golden hues.
Yes I do realise it looks awfully like female genitalia - you should see some of the wrongly focused outtakes!
I managed to get a close-up macro of this bumble bee which was very kind to pose for me for a good while before flying off. I've done plenty of macros before, but the close-ups (>1:1) have always been of dead insects.
It's much nicer to be able to capture a living bee (compared to this dead one), but there are significantly greater challenges. With a subject that is constantly on the move, the idea of being able to capture shots to stack is something of an impossibility. This image is from a single shot, processed from raw. A single strobe was used mounted just to the side of the camera and diffused.
The light shines for all moths.
Taken with a 50mm FD lens reversed onto macro extension tubes onto the Body of a Canon 550D with external flash at 1/16th power.
Shutter speed 1/160 and ISO at 200 - 400.
EF-S 17-55 @17mmF8.0
white area contains realsize printscreen part, from wich this word 'love' was captured displayed by 30'' Dell IPS screen.
out again today with the reversed 70 200 f4L on extension tubes.
I managed to grab 3 or 4 shots of this wasp but none are too clear, i had to sharpen somewhat in photoshop but i dont think i set my shutter speed quick enough (hence the slight wobble you can maybe see if you look close.
I dont know why i get a lot of noise, these images have only had a slight crop and not that much photoshop, i shot in raw so maybe someone could give me a heads up?
This little guy was still enough to take at least 3 similar frames to be stacked :)
He was quite small, about 5-6mm altogether.
Focus stack of 3 images with CombineZP.
Pentax K24/2.8 reversed directly on camera body.
Off-camera flash, 2 strobes on left and right side on the spider.
This spider was in my sisters bedroom while we were away in Ireland, nothing scary or special, but since there was nothing else to photograph i deicded to give it a go.
Lighting is always hard with these spiders, their eyes reflect the light in every direction making it hard to produce crisp results...
Comment on what you think guys thanks.
my other half is into strange forms of exercise. one of his favourites at the moment is indian club swinging - basically chucking large bits of wood round his head. i bought him a pair of 10lb oak clubs for christmas and they are beautiful lumps of wood. this is a reverse macro of the lettering on the clubs - bought them from www.revolutionclubs.net/ if anyone is interested :-)
Found this smaller Crane fly sitting on a plant leaf by the pond in the garden. Got some closer shots but decided in the end to just get a full body shot with more in focus.
Taken with a 50mm Prime lens reversed onto the body Canon 550d with a reverse ring.

this is a 2mm jumping spider. used 120mm extensions with a 28mm reversed, for comparison have a look at my picture of another spiders eyes with same setup
Photo 67/365 - 8 March 2010.
I have been trying to do this on and off since Canon5 last year. Finally I figured out the right combination of lenses to do it, naturally it all happened by accident.
After having been out most of the day getting things done again, I had my mind set on a reverse macro of a set of cuff links I got as a present for a friend.
As I was setting up the shot, rummaging around for my 18-55mm lens for a while before I remembered lending it to my brother for his trip. Doh! Slightly miffed with myself since I had a reversing ring for that lens so I went for the nifty fifty that I acquired off littlemagoos a few weeks back.
Back to the cuff links, they are a pair I got from Etsy made from watches, pretty funky and unique piece.
Taken with a reversed Nikkor 18-55mm DX VR lens. I used a Fotodiox 55mm macro reversing ring and aperture enabler
Macros taken with a 100mm Macro lens coupled with a reversed 50mm prime lens for extra magnification.
Reverse lens macro (Fujinon 135mm f3.5 m42 mount shot through Pentacon 50mm f1.8) Lots of USM (160%, 1.3, 0) in PS7.0
A Pentium 4 through two lenses. The attached lens is an AF-D Nikkor 18-135 @ 135mm f/5.6 and an manual Nikkor 35-70 is handheld in front of it @70mm f/4.5.
The Harry Houdini of snails! Death defying act (sort of).
I was actually washing vegetables in the sink for dinner tonight when I spotted this guy in the water. Initially I thought it was dead but it actually stuck it's head out of its shell underwater so I fished it out of the water. Drowning is a horrible way to go no matter what species you are I suppose.
When I saw it stuck it's head out again on the side of my sink, I knew it was photo op time. Tell you what it is pretty shy when it's been picked up and moved around. It took a long time for it to pop it's head out again and decide to make a quick get away. They can actually move when they want to!
These are all reverse macro shots, some with my nifty fifty, some with my 70-200mm at 70mm. Please look at the set here.
