Micro Photography

so people that know cameras known micro lens cost a crap load (along with any other len). well, while browsing the interweb, as i usually do at work, i found an alternative and money saving way to take those awesome micro-macro photos. it's called reverse lens... you just put the lens on backwards and BAM! time to take some macros. fyi, you can't just mount the lens on the body, you'll just hold it in place or get an adapter

and here is my attempt..

in the picture above, i used my AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 lens. and i manually opened up the shutter with my finger to get some light in.


and this is the whole picture of what i was trying to take, a sharpie.
