Nice skill... Seems fun...
w00t... F0...

i like the ring and also the yellow flower so much. what camera are you using? and also lens?

Im using canon 350D and 18-55mm kit lens in reverse

Mind teaching how u do a reverse lens? noob here

Cabut ur kit lens and hook up in reverse ( if pakai reverse ring much better ) set the lens to manual. set ur aperture to higher number. set ur iso to 100 or 400 ( depend on serounding light aka indoor or outdoor ) hold ur breath. start manually focus on subjek. agak2 the subjek is sharp then snap. check the outcome .. and if not satisfy shoot again. recomended to shoot in RAW. practice, practice and practice.

how to reverse leh ? the lens part wun connect to the camera right

Ya..also want to ask...
pakai masing tape boleh ka?

i just don understand the part where u reverse the lens, but u still can set the aperture?

i don't get any of it. post photo of camera hooked up in reverse. the whole idea eludes me.

i think is set the shutter speed low is it?? just now i try...is so cool

close up filter will do, no need to cabut the lense and take risk.

i using M mode. so all setting on body can be set manually. Only the lens cannot be control automatically. Thats why the lens should be in manual not auto so we can manual adjust focus.once u snap 20 30 pic .. u will find it easy . Ops.. typo error .. not aperture but shutter speed.if needed use flash.If flash to harsh .. reduce the flash power.

show the pic of ur camera revverse lens

the focus thingy i know. Just got confused over your statement there lol i do have a full manual 50mm in my arsenal hehe

thanks for clarifying things up

good pics birukaca21.
quite tempted to do it too.

anybody here can explain how exactly this reverse-lens technique works?
from the photos, it looks as though the aperture is very big.

If you are using a 50mm constant lens, its easier. Just reverse the lens, unlock the aperture and set it to the biggest aperture (on the lens) and then place it on your came and hold it. Then fire away

Hmm I shall try that with a 50mm later on then.
thanks for the advice on that.

But for the moment, by using kitlens, since can't set the aperture (assuming the zoom is at 18mm), by doing the reverse lens technique, will the aperture be bigger than F3.5 or not? that's what I'm curious about.
