I learned about the reverse macro technique from this picture and had to try it out. It takes a lot of patience but also is a lot of fun!

Sigma 70-300 APO DG Macro creates a nice bokeh when used at 300 mm. I love this lens.

US Postage Currency from the Civil War 1862-1863 5 cents. Coins were scarce so they used bills.

Rescued this guy from the pond, well I say rescued, i'd walked past him 3hrs previously thinking "you'll never sting again ye son of a b*tch.. oooh i'll photograph you later too..."

Anywho. Turns out he was alive, thankfully I didn't find this out till after the shoot was over :-)

This was my first attempt at a reverse macro shot. It's not perfect, but it's also not half bad. I actually kind of like the way it turned out.
