Macro First time reverse macro

First time reverse macro · 12:26 PM

Bigger size photo and full gallery HERE Was really my first try and I'm waiting for some money to get flash and being able to go outside as well. First photo (in album) is just for showing magnification on well known subject Photos are not cropped, and just with minor PP modification. Thanks for comments

PS: DOF of this solution was really crazy

You are off to a good start with your reverse lens, I think. I like the seed heads (messengers?) very much.

With some cropping the second and third images will look very nice. There is a recurring auction (no interest each time) for a reversing ring that has me SO tempted... and these photos only make the craving worse.

these are very good, checked your Album, you have some good captures, ... I recently acquired a reversing adapter, you inspire me to get out and try it!

cheers

Thanks for positive comments I also ordered reverse adapter ring and 49-49 ring for connecting 2 lenses. This was just with glue tape Next will be some flash (YN 560 II probably) with small softbox/difusor and than try to going out also with this. But it's really funny playing with such small DOF and it's cheapest way to macro/micro photography
