Red Onion

A slice of red onion, in the bottom left you can even see the liquid which squirts & makes our eyes water.

Wow - you are having serious fun here!!

[Jesika]

@fbailey Indeed yes. I'm pretty sure I'll keep the camera but insect egg time (May onwards) will be the real tester. The more I learn now, the better, hopefully, the important photos will be.

So interesting!

[Jesika]

@featherstone26 I am becoming very impatient for insect eggs, what detail will be revealed I wonder.
Thanks, Sue

[Suzie Townsend]

You are just having too much fun! I love your onion!

[CC Folk]

Wow...very cool shot! Fav.

[babbs]

A very creative shot! Fav!

[Jesika]

@stownsend You guessed it, I AM having fun. I need to really get to grips with no stabilisation & wobbly hands. Thank you

@gardenfolk @babbs36 Thank you, Ladies. The detail I'm seeing with a back to front lens is astonishing. I wonder why I didn't do this years ago

[Susie]

Amazing, Iooking forward to your discoveries

[Jesika]

@susie1205 I'M looking forward to my discoveries too! Things we take for granted, don't really see. An even larger f number reveals even more. I'll keep playing. Thanks very much

The macro world is so interesting.

[Jesika]

@joev I absolutely agree. I certainly didn't expect to see so much detail
Thank you, Joe

[HappySnap]

Fascinating!

[Jesika]

@stillhappysnap Thank you very much. I'm astonished at the detail. The concept of reverse lens is absorbing.

[Gayle]

That’s amazing! :-)

[Jesika]

@gaylewood Thanks, Gayle. I'm learning such a lot playing with this technique.

[Rookynook]

Excellent macro.... one for me to try. Which lens did you use in reverse?

[Jesika]

@rookynook Thanks for the comment & for deciding to follow my erratic progress.
The camera I have borrowed is a Canon 600d with its kit lens an 18-55. The reversing ring was £7, worth it because it makes life easier in what is to wobbly me, a difficult technique.

[Emma78]

This is great! I've loved your reverse lens pictures. I am definitely going to get into this and buy one! Thanks for the info.

[Jesika]

@emma78 I look forward to seeing what you do. Good luck.
