I needed some material for my English project, for a cover and filler material, and it needed to fit the theme of my project, "Perspectives" (which has been about cameras and photography subjects mainly, and also a couple of poems that show life and view points) so I decided the most interesting "Perspective" I could do from a photography standpoint, to me at least, was Macro photography. Enjoy.
This first one isn't reverse-tele. It was simply to show that I was able to build something with my spare change (mentioned in one of Emberghost's threads). The others are 18-55 Kit @ 55 -> reversed 85 f/1.8 (infinity focus).
17 Cents - A Tower Built Because I Couldn't Get Anymore Creative With Coins.
Digital Rebel Kit Lens (18-55) @ 55mm, f/16, 1/200, ISO100, Flash (420EX) on the Right. PS Saturation / Levels / USM Adjustments.
"Perspectives" Monument - First subject of my Reverse-Tele experiments.
Digital Rebel Kit Lens (18-55) Mounted @ 55mm, f/16, 1/100, ISO100, through reverse-held 85mm f/1.8 lens. 420EX flash at low-angle across top of penny (Bounced towards camera - see shadows) Cropped and Leveled in PS.
"Perspectives" Shelled - I wanted something other than coins.
Same settings. Flash bounced/reflected off of sheet steel like previous picture.
"Perspectives" Connected - Why not photograph my old video card and get credit for it?
Same settings. You can see some vingetting because I didn't crop as tight. The black PCB dissapears into the vingetted area pretty sweetly.
Just A Ruler - I could probably calculate the ratio to life-size with this (full size version), but I feel lazy right now.
Same settings. Except I didn't crop this one. Only resized in PS.
