I wanted to do some macro but I did't have the cash for a decent macro lens.
I grabbed a reverse macro ring for $5 from ebay the other day and decided to use it with my D60 and Nikkor 35mm f1.8 AF-S DX.
I was very happy with the result, for a fraction of the cost I got great macro.























 
Wow, some great shots, here. Beautiful colors!!
 
wow what is that thing you bought??

Just search for "reverse macro ring" on ebay.
You screw it on the front of your lens and it makes it so you can attach your lens backwards onto the camera, hence giving it macro capabilities.

Great shots but you really need to warn people about spiders! :gah:
Thanks and :lol:
 
That is very interesting. Great shots by the way.
 
what in the crap is that thing in the 9th shot?

it looks like an insect version of a raccoon or something lol
 
Great shots!

Unfortunately, my Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G automatically closes the blades (I think that's the right name for the part that I'm describing) upon being detached from the camera body. This makes it impossible to do reverse lens macro shots. Is there anything I can do to get by this? Thanks.

The 35mm I use does the same, plus I use the 18-55 with the reverse ring also.
There is a little metal slider protruding from the back of the lens. It opens the aperture up.:thumbup:
