This is one of the first shots that I took with the Canon 100mm macro and attaching a old 50mm Nikkor lens in reverse to it. Have been meaning to try it out for awhile now!
Pretty interesting in what I could do with it, and some of my "In Your World" series of shots got plenty more added to that folder while using this.
Nothing special about this shot, but I thought it wasn't to bad for natural light while I was playing around!
Taken on a spent Clematis bloom.

Have some better ones that I will send out later.

Michael,

This is really cool. I have used a lens in reverse before, but I didn't know that you could add a reversed lens to the front of a normally attached lens. I will have to try that. Thanks.

Interesting shot - maybe f/64 would be the ticket :D

Nice work Michael with good technicals. Could possibly use a bit deeper DOF.
