We'd just got a load of snow, and because it was cold, the snow was really lightweight and some of the flakes looked interesting. Naturally, you should pay attention to things like this.
I wanted to see if lighting the snow with a flashlight would be enough for a picture and apparently it was, but only just. I still had to use a high ISO speed, and so ended up getting a lot of noise. After cleaning all that up, I thought I might as well edit it some more and gave it a slight bluish hue.
Also, having your fingers freeze isn't all that bad; thawing them afterwards is.

If I have a pet, this would probably be the expression on their face today. My wife and I had a flurry of activities in the house, finally hitting the nursery room and cleaning out her junk from there. Still a bit to go but we made a huge dint in the workload.
Here's my shot at reverse macro...this is the best I could get. It's not so easy. Much credit to all of you that get these awesome pictures with that method. Must have a real steady hand.
The eye of the Queen of England on a £5 note (I think it was £5, I'm not usually one to carry around much cash!), lighting was probably done using a SAD light I bought from Maplins.
Shot using my Sigma 30mm f/1.4 attached to my Canon 400D backwards using a cheap filter converter (it screws into the filter thread on the front of the lens).
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.

Surprisingly this is the first spider I have seen in our apartment since I've moved in with Robyn in the WestEnd.
Where as in Pitt Meadows, they were always spiders kicking about.

Shot with a Canon 1.8 50mm II lens reverse mounted to my Canon 7D with a fotodiox 52mm reverse mount Canon EOS ring. One of many reverse macro shots I took after getting the part in the mail. I just couldn't stop taking pictures of things with it. You do notice how dusty and spider webby your house is with macro shots.
