Macro Reverse Lens

Reverse Lens · 01:45 PM

Trying a 50 f1.7 reversed on my 100 f4 macro. This is some tough shooting. Doubt if I will ever get many good shots doing this, but I wanted to try. First one is some kind of assassin bug nymph, maybe 3mm long. Amazing how wicked looking it is this close up. Second is a very tiny leaf hopper. Third is inside a begonia bloom. These are not very sharp, I was hand holding using a 280t flash with diffuser.

The assassin bug looks like some type of crustacean, Dennis you are really getting up close and personal on these.

Thanks Bob. Have you ordered a ring flash yet?

No not yet Dennis, I used this months allowance to replace one of our motorhome AC units, it is on the back burner

Nice shots, you're doing well with this method.

Tough work to do these, I think they look pretty darn good.
