i really wanted to make this shot better but i have a million and one things to do tonight. tomorrow, my parents arrive from new zealand for a visit and this week has been so stressful i am really unorganised. the next couple of weeks are going to be hard for me - i dont think i am going to have the time to dedicate to 365 but i am really going to try to post something, even if i hate it.
found a dead wasp, so decided to use a reverse macro technique plus focus stacking to shoot a high magnification image. I also used a bit of generative fill while editing this to help clean up the image. Sped up the workflow a lot. This kind of technique is fun, but not good for serious work (at least with my lenses) as it generates a ton of chromatic aberration.
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.

Macros taken with a 100mm Macro lens coupled with a reversed 50mm prime lens for extra magnification.
Portraits of Russian nesting dolls - from largest to smallest.
Reverse macro - 55mm/2.8f Rikenon lens held up to a Nikon 50mm 1.8f on a d50.
For centuries, travel to Anglesey from the mainland was often hazardous. Ferries traversed the Menai Strait at various places, but the currents are tricky and numerous boats capsized or ran aground, often with loss of life.
One of the most tragic occurred in 1785 when a boat carrying 55 people became stranded on a sandbar in the middle of the southern end of the strait. Attempts to refloat the boat left it swamped. The alarm was raised and rescuers set off from Caernarfon. But, the combination of high winds, nightfall and the fear of also running aground meant that the rescuers could not approach the sandbar. Night fell, the tide rose and those stranded on the sandbar were swept away. Only one survived.
the Menai Suspension Bridge, built in 1826 by Thomas Telford.
I also have a 8-stop HDR of this bridge from a different angle although have yet to find the time process it properly :-D
My first attempts at reverse macro. I saw one over on Gastronauten's stream, and thought "I gotta try that!"
Taken with a kit EF-S 18-55mm lens reversed and hand held in front of body.

Identification
Characteristics of true bugs
Gradual or incomplete metamorphosis (no pupa stage)
Juveniles (nymphs) resemble adults, but may vary in coloration, and usually have reduced wings which become larger in successive molts
Soft or hard-bodied, often dorsoventrally flattened in profile
Typically two pairs of wings in adult: forewings (hemelytra) are partly thick and protective, and partly membranous
Hindwings are typically fully membranous and function in flight, though some species are wingless. (Juveniles have reduced wings.)
Wings at rest have apical portion (tip) crossed - a distinctive characteristic
Scutellum (triangular portion of thorax exposed between base of wings along midline) is prominent. Beetles may also have a prominent scutellum.
Mouthparts are a piercing or sucking "beak" arising from front of head
Antennae, when not hidden, have 4-5 segments
Ocelli (simple eyes) present in some groups
Some groups such as stink bugs (family Pentatomidae) have thoracic scent glands whose secretions are for defensive purposes
One morning I found this guy exploring my window frame and decided to document the event.
After some initial confusion it finally decided to stand still and waited patiently for me to take the picture. It then carried on on its way to the nearest moth hangout.
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!
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!
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.

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 cinema matte screen here.
Nature photos taken with a makeshift "double-lens reverse macro", in which I attached two 50mm f1.8 lenses face to face.
