Photo taken hand held with a 24mm Nikkor manual lens reverse mounted on a Canon 600D. No cropping performed to the original photo.
We have some stormy weather today, and the best this little guy could do was to cling to the side of a retaining wall and hope he does not get blown away. His focus on his situation allowed me to come in close and take 7 shots from varying angles. I was elated since these butterflies are usually so active they never sit for longer than a second.

Nope. Just some tile grout.
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.
To get a better idea of the scale of the photo, this photo and this photo show the same grout.

selection of Bugs from my garden!...
Normally i am one to shy away from creepie crawlies but now i find myself rumaging around in the undergrowth to find a bug to photograph!
I actually sat watching a cat and mouse game with a spider and an ant whilst i was getting these, its such a different world and every action could lead to DEATH for the bug, simply amazing!!
I am loving my reverse ring & macro extension tubes now!
Macro of a cigarette butt 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.
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.

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.
My camera has been returned, which has allowed me to try out the Minolta MD 50mm f/2 lens (which I recently bought), reversed on the camera, providing the opportunity for macro shots such as this one.
This is the first time I have attempted a reverse macro, and I am quite happy with the results, although it's harder to get the focus than I initially thought it would be!
In order to control the DOF to a some degree, this was taken at around f/8. Below is the same shot wide open.

Happy binary day! I did take a photo at 10:10 but really dirty nappy it is not for public consumption.
Another glorious day outside and to spare my stream from another flood of Liam photos, I went out and took some photos of my wife's lavenders. I was competing with bees as I went in for a reverse macro lens shot.
Some type of fly sitting on a Mulberry leaf.

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.
