Hey.

Well, today i was doing some more experimenting with a reversed lens (hand held cam and hand held lens. ai, ai, ai).
So, these are quite shacky, but still i kind of like the mood.

Any opinions and comments are welcome! =)

I like the first one as well.

2nd one has nice colors but I can't make out what that is.

thank guys...

well, the second one is a Tongue of Fire! :P just joking. It's a petal from a little flower coming in the direction of the camera. You can see a bit of one more petal on the bottom left and "feel" another on the bottom right.

Do you think the first one looks like feather from a chicken? :D

It looks like a flower.

Btw, what do you mean by "reversed lens"?

You can buy an adapter, where you can turn your lens in reverse order so that you can take macro like he did.

Nice job on the first one!

You can take your normal lens, flip ip around and it will work as a "Macro" lens.
I was holding it with my hand in front of the camera, but you can buy THIS (external link) kind of adapter and then it's much easier...

Thanks for all the comments! :)

If have also attempted this , and got about the same finished products as you, and realized how much easier it will be with an adapter! Lol.holding the lens, and camera , trying not to breathe, getting the light just so.I had a headache after the hundreds of tries.


you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

I like the first one, has a very nice milky/dreamy look to it.

For the second, I love the colors but and extra one or two of the red triangle things might make it pop a little more as it looks rather empty with this one red triangle in the middle umgonst all this yellow.
