I have been contemplating starting a thread for Macro photography.

There are a few posters who I am aware of who would participate. if there are enough takers I'll give it a go

It wont be like pimpies thread, no challange, just a place to show off your achievements and an exchange of tips and ideas.

Here is one as a starter

That is an attachment that allows you lens to be reversed. you have to get the right one for your camera make and the front filter thread.

using that though you have to operate the camera in manual mode but the the results can be stunning and you dont have to give up an arm and a leg for a dedicated Macro lens 🙂

there are some more tips that I can pass on as we go along 🙂
