Thanks canto_xii
Reverse macro is where you take the lens off the camera, turn it around and use your physical distance from the subject to focus. I first saw LaFoto use this technique and have since been smitten
You can see some of her's here..

Wow, that's so cool! I have a macro series that I was working on for a portfolio last semester but I've pretty much abandoned it. Maybe I'll give this a shot and see if it doesn't rekindle my macro enthusiasm. What do you think the effect would be of using different lenses? Thank you so much for explaining this to me and for pointing me to LaFoto's post, that helped quite a bit as well. I'm really excited to try this out! And if you do any more, I'd love to see them!
