Reverse Macro

Some people have never even heard about this technique. Others know what it is, but don't know how to do it. I made this tutorial this afternoon in hopes to answer any questions.

Hope it helps!

[edit]
For maximum magnification, use your minimum focal length (i.e. 18mm, if your lens is 18-55mm). Incredible results!
You can also pick up something called a "reversin ring" to make shooting a whole lot easier! Basically a filter that screws onto the end of your lens and allows you to mount it to your camera body [link] Super cheap and it makes things much easier

Thank you for the bonus tricks! I already know this macro trick, but the extra things you said not. (:

thanks for the tutorial, knew that before, never knew about the button

for Nikon users:
don't forget to change aperture on your lenses when taking them off the camera. when you normally attach lenses you put the minimum (like f22) aperture because you control it through the camera, but once the lens is taken off camera can't affect it so you have to turn the ring back to the maximum (like f1.5 or whatever is you lens' max) and then take a macro shot

So, how does the lens stop down to the aperture you set, if the electrical connections aren't connected to the camera? If it's not connected then changing the aperture on the camera body won't do anything to the lens.

Its pretty hard to hel the lens and the Dof buttom at the same time.We need to use manual.Learn the numbers and stay very stable right usually a tripod helps.Right?
