ok, in the same vein (vain? vane?...?) as my
other thread, here's some photos i took while at my parents place, though these are almost expressly macro. i found an old pair of 7x50 tasco binoculars and stole one of the front elements. by holding this reversed (outside towards the lens) upto the front of the camera lens, it gave some super awesome magnification as well as allowing me to get amazingly closer to my subjects (a major plus for using the 70-300mm lens!) here's the setup for each photo:
1.) Bee on basil plant
canon 400D, with 28-90mm @ 90mm
2.)bull ant on tile
canon 400D, 28-90mm @ 86mm with binocular lens, subject 5-10mm
3.) yellow spider on leaf
canon 400D, 70-300mm @ 190mm with binocular lens, subject about 5mm long
4.) bee on weird red flower thing
canon 400D, reverse mounted 50mm prime
5.) spider in web
canon 400D, 28-90mm @ 90mm with binocular lens, subject about 5mm long
