Flat Bubbles

Playing with an old Canon 600d, reversed 18-55 kit lens WITHOUT a reversing ring. Not easy for shaky old hands. Have ordered a ring so I can play seriously with the lens attached - much easier.
I have no idea which sliders I slid in which direction to get this colour!

Cool photo of the pink bubbles. Reminds me of making wine.

Too techie for me I'm afraid, will be interested to see results with the ring x

@pej Thanks, Paul. Wine...hmmm. The only time I remember that was when I was under 10, Grandmother made Elderberry wine & filled the bottles right to the top. The explosions in the pantry were decidely messy!

@fbailey If I tried to replicate this, it would look the same, more or less. I just wouldn't have to hold the lens in place so it would be like any other macro lens with the same light gathering problems. MUCH easier!

@koalagardens Thank you very much. The reversing ring will make things easier - or at least that's the theory

I've never reversed a lens before. How cool.

Very cool image! :-)

Great shot especially since you had to hand hold it.

Neat image

@gaylewood Thank you, Gayle. Hope the reversing ring arrives soon, Lindi (doggie) brought some leaf skeletons in, could be fun!

@joev Thanks, Joe. The reversing ring will make this much easier & I'm hopeful of reasonable results. I think it's quite a steep learning curve too.

@susie1205 Many thanks. It's fun playing

Since I don't know how to use a camera, I have no idea what you are talking about but that is OK, because the photo in so fun!

[Jesika]

@888rachel Thanks, Rachel. Now I've got the reversing ring, I'm beginning to wish I'd never started on this ridiculous idea. Gosh it's hard to focus. I refuse to be beaten by a back to front lens!

@stownsend Thanks, Suzie. I'm beginning to think I don't know how to use a camera either. Certainly haven't even begun to master a reversed lens!
