Camera is FINALLY back from warranty service. God it seemed it was gone forever...to celebrate the return, I bought meself a reversing ring for macro work. What a trip. This is full frame, and I adjusted curves and saturation in ps. Yes Alpha, I know it's overcolored. So shoot me :-). I'll fall off that bridge when I try to print it. Sue

Cool trip and I've had a few This may be a stupid question what does a reversing ring do

Eggiwegs! I would like... to smash them!

Lets you mount a lens backwards--the front element winds up against the camera body. With a wideangle lens, say a 28mm, that gives you something like 7X lifesize. More fun than I thought, and I thought it would be very fun.

take the lens of your camera, and just look through it. Hold it near your skin, and look through it, and check out the point where the image comes in focus... like a centimeter away from the object... makes for some cool ass shootin' it does.

definetly abstract....what is it?

Pictures appear to me, I shoot them.   Elliot Erwitt

Firestorm It is the reflections of the rear element of the shooting lens (and other stuff on the table I was working on, including vitamin capsules) in the rear element of a second lens. Sue
