Since some have asked, the last 3 photos were taken with a flipped lens held against a regular lens. This allows me to focus on real close subjects without having an expensive macro lens. I experimented 18-55mm mounted and held a flipped 50mm against it. 		NIKON D50

  • You did hold another lense against it? Do you mean: you held it with your hand or was it mounted in any sort?
    Whatsoever, a great result for such an improvisation!
