Lucas Ridley's Microblog

I’ve been enjoying taking photos when my mother completes some of her arrangements at her floral shop. Here’s one small one. I just shot it in the cooler, the lights in the cooler was all that was used to light it.

Reverse lens macro test shot. 

I took off my Tamron 70-200mm lens from my camera, reversed it and held the ‘wrong’ side of the lens up to the camera and just held it there. It was pulled to 70mm, wide open at 2.8, and focus pulled as close as possible. (The ISO was super high though, maybe 3200)

Since I don’t have a macro lens, this is a ghetto way of getting a macro shot. I’m looking forward to trying it out on some wedding rings on a wedding shoot soon.
