Experimenting with "Poor Mans Macro" technique of achieving macro magnification without the macro lens. I used my 50mm f/1.4 and the XTs Kit lens to get these shots off... Here's a more in depth explanation...
*The Poor Mans Macro is taking your main lens, keeping it on your camera and using a secondary lens and placing it in front of your main lens. You have to turn the secondary lens around so the front end is looking into the main lens. With this, you can achieve really small shots.
The circle effect in some of these shots is me pulling the secondary lens away from the main lens to get the object in focus. Other shots its me shutting the aperture of the main lens down to 2.8 or smaller and you would literally see the effect of the aperture stopping down. Its awesome.
