Macros taken with a 100mm Macro lens coupled with a reversed 50mm prime lens for extra magnification.
Photo 364/365 - 30 December 2010.
Almost there .... almost there!
This spider made it's nest next to one of the areas where Liam sometimes get his tummy time. I figured I better go outside and spray the bugger down. Better safe than sorry with little bub.
I thought it ran into hiding but a few minutes later it was dangling down the window. It was wriggling around a bit so reverse lens macro made for a tricky shot. A real macro lens is definitely on my mind, and I am still yet to take the plunge for a "black glass" filter. Hopefully the latter will eventuate next month.
Just a handheld reverse macro of a necklace.
We went for a 11,3 km bicycle ride today, mostly uphill. I found out that I like cycling downhill more :-P

Still proud - even plucked and on a window-sill. . .
Reverse macro 18-55mm hand held onto camera body.
Taken with a canon t2i with a reversed 18-55mm kit lens and a home made flash diffuser on the pop up flash!
I completed wonderful reverse macro shots of The E Ring on Sunday - sunlight works best.
It has all my hopes and loves in one simple shape!

Photo 217/365 - 5 August 2010.
Not my best shot ever but I'm short on time again. Badminton season kicks off tonight and I just inhaled my dinner and writing up the blurb for this photo.
Despite the occasional colder night, the trees are definitely thinking it's spring time some 4 weeks ahead of schedule. The eucalyptus tree in the front yard has loads of pods and an occasional flower. I took one of these flowers off the tree in the fading light and got this shot indoors instead.
It was a bit challenging with reverse lens macro, the reflection is not quite as clear as I'd like. I was hoping that it would be passable when I flip the image upside down.
(For this photo I put the lens on my D90)
On my Nikon D40x I used a 200mm lens with a 35mm lens reversed on the end. This creates images to fill the frame at .15 inches across,meaning 6 times larger than their natural size.
I totally think this is amazing! :) I also just hand held the camera, so they are not totally clear. Sorry
This is my second attempt at reverse macro shooting. Got some pointers from my buddy Eric on how to increase the depth of field which significantly improved the clarity of these photos. Once again I used my trusty LED flash lights ( blue and white) to light these shots.
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.
Another reverse macro shot. I really enjoy playing with these close ups and seeing the textures on objects that you wouldn't otherwise notice.
This shot captures the rust and texture in a hand-forged hatchet I made a few years back, stuck in a very unlucky stump. I really like the colors and textures in the metal here.
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.

A few weeks ago, the cherry blossoms bloomed on my little cherry tree out back. The light was perfect, so I tried out some reverse macro photography.
This is a hand-held double lens reverse macro shot of a clover leaf 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 original image is on a scale six times smaller than the sensor on the D80, this image has been slightly straightened and cropped, bringing us even closer.)
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.
To get a better idea of the scale of the photo, this photo and this photo shows same grass.
As I'm obsessed with getting good double reverse lens macro images straight out of the camera (because it's difficult), this photo is not the one I've posted to the Double Lens Reverse Macro group, here is the original image as it came out of the camera.

First shot using a reversing ring attached to my kit lens. It's nothing like using a macro lens. A little quirky, and difficult to focus.
Day 12. Yay! Got a reversing ring in the mail today so here is the first macro.
Done with stock NEX 18-55.
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 230mm, meaning (230mm:50mm) that I'm shooting at 4.6x magnification. (The image you see here is on a scale 4.6 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 shows same letter in normal scale.
As I'm obsessed with getting good double reverse lens macro images straight out of the camera (because it's difficult), this photo is the one I've posted to the Double Lens Reverse Macro group, but here is a slightly centered, cropped and brightened image I created with DxO.

Reverse macro: 50mm reversed and hand held to front of 18-55 lens attached to camera, when doubled up like this i get a dark halo effect. If I just hand hold the reversed lens straight into the camera mouth a 'normal' macro shot. As I have no adapters it gets pretty tiring on the hands. I always open the aperture of the lens (or both lenses) as wide as possible - gives a very shallow DOF so remaining focused is a matter of subtle shifts in position of myself or at least my hands - a moving subject (like the bee) becomes a very interesting/testing experience!!
