You got a bit of focus-stacking and tilt-shifting happening there SB? Nice images.

Thanks BC. Nope. Never tried either. Some of it was done with a 100mm macro lens, some with a reversed 18-55 kit lens.

Means double Dutch to me SB but what ever you did you nailed it :Y: just fantastic :100:

Reversing a lens is simply first tricking the lens aperture to stay closed while you remove the lens, then flip it around and hold it over the camera body opening, shooting through it backwards, using your distance from the subject to achieve critical focus. It's difficult, frustrating, frought with light and motion problems, but once you master it, it is a very effective poor-man's macro lens.

You cna even buy screw-on adaptors nowdays to do just that, so you don't have to hold it over the camera.

Another thing I did was use a range of home-made light modifiers over my flashes. Tissues, A4 paper, milk bottles, icecream containers, anything I could use to get the light right.

I had a back seat ride in a biplane tigermoth once. I thought we weren't going fast enough to take of.
Great pictures thanks for sharing them.

Look closely at that cute little spider at the bottom of post #736. It looks like she's got Love Hearts in her eyes :inlove: (All 6 of them)

And what red blooded Male spider could resist 8 long hairy legs?
