OK - I'm on a roll here....

i want to hear about the weirdest configuration of equipment you've ever had to use.
Example - shooting bees at my mother's house - and all I had was a standard and a 105 portrait lens - but she had a beautiful spread of bee-attracting plants in her yard. The solution - extension is extension - and f-16-22 (my exposure for my flash bracket) is a constant -so why not - get a core from a toilet paper roll, and tape the sucker to the lens and to the camera (OK - so I wrapped the tube with some tin foil first -but that;'s OK too)
The resulting images were not "perfect" - but I got a couple of 'em that were pretty OK. (problem, at this magnification, was getting the tube taped to the body - really no way of doing it and keeping the lens aligned with the body - but you're composing at the shooting aperture - so what you see is what you're gonna get - it's just a pain to determine the focus (too much depth of field - even for a macro shoot).
