Reverse Lens Macro

Well after looking at everyone’s chosen genre, someone chose macro. But the way he did it was by taking his lens off, reversing it, and holding it onto the camera body which then acts as a macro lens. You need to make sure you have the aperture at its widest though for it to work.
It looked pretty interesting and his pictures were very good so I decided to have a bash myself.

If you go to this web site it has a better explanation of how to do it.

I found it really hard to get the focus, I was like rocking backward and forwards because one minute it will be in focus next it wouldn’t.
I took pictures in my garden to practise my only issue was that it was windy so once I got focus id have to hold it and wait for the wind to stop blowing what ever I was taking pictures of.
