Don't even breathe! by nicolaeastwood

Don't even breathe!

Inspired by @richardcreese I ordered a reversing ring from ebay last week!

It arrived yesterday, but I didn't get time to play.

Four months ago I would have thought you were nuts if you'd told me it was even possible to attach a lens backwards! Today I had more fun than should be allowed with teeny flowers and dandelion clocks and my 18-55 lens on back-to-front!

Fabulous clock capture so difficult to get the lighting and ficus right with reversing rings but you nailed it Nicola

Please let me in on the reversing ring and would it work instead of Botox?! X fab photo

this looks great, something about those reversing rings sort of makes me nervous. I guess I'm afraid I'm going to get my lens dusty or something

Yup, panicked the life out of me.....got the lens on backwards....then couldn't get it off. Tried and tried and tried and then remembered you have to push the little button, to get the lens off.......doh!!!!

@nicolaeastwood I did that exact same thing with a extension tube, totally freaked out. My husband figured it out and we both felt stupid, at least we didn't take it to the camera shop.

@nicolaeastwood This is a 'hot shot' (fave) - lets face it it must have been a bit easier than yesterday!!!

BTW the first time I put the flash unit on my camera I broke my thumb nail trying to get it off before I realised it had a release button as well as a 'slider' latch, was I glad I practiced before a family shoot?!!

Wonderful capture.

This is just amazing. Thanks for the mention. I will give this shot a go but all the Dandelions near me have yellow flowers on them. Must be a Fav.
May 6th, 2013  
Well done on the PP :-)
May 6th, 2013  
Beautiful and a fav

Nice focus, and I like the combination of white and blue. Dandelion is a popular and 'easy' subject but it's amazingly hard to shoot good one, like this.
