Up close on my M3

[hteasley]

Not with my M3, mind. I got the Haoda Macro Reversing ring, and put it on the only camera I have that can use it, my Canon Digital Rebel XT that I had converted to UV/IR a couple years ago. I was just trying it out, using my M3 as subject, and liked what I got. The first couple shots here are with the kit 18-55 lens, the third is with an 85mm/1,8 lens.

those first two are electron microscope close. most peoples' skin would stand up to scrutiny that close.

I know, it's crazy. That's the truly awful kit lens, and a $15 adapter to flip it.

A few more pics here.

I like the images. especially the softness and glow in that last one above. who cares if the lens is truly awful? it's the result that matters most.

The last one is with the 85mm f/1,8 lens, which is a lot nicer than the kit. But yeah, I'm just pretty excited to see the kit lens become this visual monster when flipped. I may have to get another Canon SLR, just to shoot non-UV/IR shots like this....
