Reversed Lens or Super Macro

Unimaxium · Nov 15, 2004

OK here are some of the first macros I did just now. What I did for these was actually an odd process. I took the 80-200mm zoom lens from my 35mm SLR, held it up to my mediocre point-and shoot digital camera, and snapped whatever I could manage. They're not nearly as good as some of the others with better lenses and better cameras, but my film camera isn't with me at the moment, and I didn't feel like waiting till I got it back (or hassling with film). So this is what I could get with a 200mm SLR lens on an 8-24mm (39-117 equivalent) digital camera lens. Images aren't too shabby considering the shabby setup.

the funny part is that I quit smoking two months ago and that still looks appetizing.

here is mine, not as good as yours (some pearls of an armlet) :

it's really funny, but quite uneasy to take pictures that way :?

What kind of camera are you using? If at all possible, put it on manual mode and set the flash up as a slave and adjust as necessary. That should get rid of the darkness issue.
