Macro of a burnt match using two lens with one reversed and put in front of the other one to focus closer like a macro lens. Discussion here explains the technique.
Macro Leaf Autumn is here!
Reverse pentax 28mm on a reverse ring with 430ez in diy softbox cam left close
Found this little guy hanging out in the knot hole of a piece of wood. Didn't have my macro lens so I had to flip my 50mm around the get a little closer in. Makes the DOF pretty shallow.

Of my city the worst that men will ever say is this:
You took little children away from the sun and the dew,
And the glimmers that played in the grass under the great sky,
And the reckless rain; you put them between walls
To work, broken and smothered, for bread and wages,
To eat dust in their throats and die empty-hearted
For a little handful of pay on a few Saturday nights.
- Carl Sandburg

"Echium wildpretii is an herbaceous biennial plant that grows up to 3 m in height. The species is endemic to the island of Tenerife, and is found mainly in Las Cañadas del Teide. The common names are tower of jewels, red bugloss, Tenerife bugloss or Mount Teide bugloss. The Spanish word for this plant is tajinaste." - Wikipedia.
My wife planted two of these in our front garden. With all that has been going on in our lives, I actually have not noticed the Echiums are flowering at the moment. I started off taking some conventional shots of them but switched to macro when I noticed how delicate the flowers are.
Much to my surprise I saw ants were crawling over the flowers whilst I was taking my shots. I have to say I am pretty happy with how the shoot turned out, reverse lens macro is not exactly the easiest way to take photos of moving objects. I had a selection of four shots to choose my photo of the day from and it was hard work deciding!
Yesterday I was reading the flickr blog entry about Reverse Lens Photography (http://blog.flickr.net/en/2010/05/07/turn-your-lenses-upside-down/) and got inspired to put together my Canon 70-200mm L 4f with my Tamron 28-200mm 3.8-5.6 and this is one of the results.

Found this little one on a lemon thyme plant that was brought in from the garden as it's getting colder outside.
Perfect chance to test out my macro gear (still trying to work out a proper lighting set up). This little one was a willing model for a 2 hour photo shoot while I was fiddling around to get the proper exposure.
D90, cheap extension tubes (no electrical contacts), Nikon 50mm f/1.8D, SC-29 cord, SB-800 with diffuser cap or Lambency Flash Diffuser with white dome (Fong Dong knockoff).
Both D90 and SB-800 handheld with SB-800 to right/left/above.
Shot around f/8.0-22, 1/160-1/250s, ISO 200.
Finally settled on SB-800 directly beside the lens on about a 45 degree angle to keep the flash distance relatively the same as not to affect light falloff (on 2nd photo shoot). SB-800 from above for a "beauty dish" look required multiple shots to get the right distance.
I discovered this tiny but fascinating sedentary predator living in a zinnia. It can take down much larger insects and uses some horrifying means to devour their innards, but it sure is cute from some angles. I make sure to say hi to it at least once a day.
To obtain the psychoactive substances the venom of psychoactive toads is commonly milked from the toad’s venom glands. The milking procedure does not harm the toad — it consists of stroking it under its chin to initiate the defensive venom response. Once the liquid venom has been collected and dried, it can be used for its effects. The toad takes about a month to refill its venom glands following the milking procedure, during which time the toad will not produce venom. Some vendors sell dried toad skins, even though it is possible to harvest the venom without harming the toad. The venom is often used for recreational purposes. --Wiki

I edited the photo from Day 165 and submitted it before tonight's deadline. So that's my one shot at the competition, which is infinitely better than it was a few days ago when I was not even going to enter. Original 365 photo here.
She is trapped inside a month of grey
And they take a little every day
She is a victim of her own responses
Shackled to a heart that wants to settle
And then runs away
It's a sin to be fading endlessly
Yeah, but she's alright with me..

i was playing with water drops using reverse macro tonight. i like the colours in this but i think i could have done better. i just wasnt in the mood.

Reverse macro - turn your lens around. Because this technique gives a very narrow DoF this is actually a composite of 3 shots at different focus stitched together in Photoshop.

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.)
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 white matte screen here.

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.
To get a better idea of the scale of the photo, this photo shows same fridge door.
