Today I tried reverse macro photography for the first time. I took a few photos of a cork, some rock salt and a few other objects, but the most interesting subject what some water droplets on the back of a CD.
I like how the light is refracted into many spectra from the original spectrum on the CD. I attempted this quite a few times as it's difficult to do, because you have to stay absolutely still as the depth of field is so narrow. I hardly did any editing in post-processing - the colours didn't require it.
In that image a reversing ring is used to keep the lens attached to the camera. They're very cheap, and it's a useful way of achieving macro shots on a budget. I'm not into macro photography in a big way, so I'd prefer to do this every now and then instead of forking out for a lens that won't be used very often.
Semi-professional photographer based in Nottingham, England, I shoot mainly events and weddings. I'll be posting my work using my Fujis - X100S and X-Pro1.
