I heard that you can take macro photos without a macro lens... I think my next big photography purchase will be a macro lens but in the meantime, this holding the fixed length lens backwards technique is quite nifty. Only problem is that there is no auto focus, the camera knows there's no lens attached and you can't use any of the camera settings (no adjustment of shutter speed, aperture, etc) so you have to hold the camera (and lens) at the exactly right distance from the subject, be in the right light, hold the camera (and lens) exactly still... hard work!
This poppy was my first to bloom; a lovely surprise to greet me this morning.
Specs:
Canon EOS 400D
50mm (held to the lens attachment backwards.)
