backwards 50mm macro

[ceilingwars]

This next roll was take by simply turning my 50mm f/1.8 prime right around, and fastening it to my camera with the very dependable rubber bands. Maybe this is an old trick everyone knows, but i have just figured it out, and am very fascinated! the only draw backs are that you can't change the aperature, and you have to focus by moving the entire camera closer, or further from the subject. anyways, i'm sticking my neck out even further on this roll, so please, tell me how you feel! even if it's anguish or disgust...
enough garble, here's my neck for you:

Rubber bands eh? That's a neat trick. This looks like it has potential, and I would like to see more results as you work with this system. :wink:

how about a pic of the camera with the lens and rubber bands.......you better hope the bands don't break when you shoot the leaf over the pond....
