Nothing too amazing, but for a first try I was happy with what I got.

A wire brush from our grill:

Metal dryer vent on the side of our house:

Pinecone:

Wow. Ive never seen a pine cone like THAT before. You all are having WAY too much fun!

 

[Corry]

I SOOOO WANT TO DO THAT! That is definately a new perspective of a pinecone!

I'm liking the pinecone too! I have to try this reverse lens thing sometime.... how hard is it to do?

It's quite simple if you have two lenses and the proper reversing ring.

I actually didn't even have a reversing ring, I just taped the two lenses together with some masking tape.

They have to be regular non-zoom lenses, right? I only have zoom lenses right now...
