RE: Experimenting with unexpensive reverse mount macro adaptor ring (how-to and 16 sample images)

You got some great results! i tried my hand once at this type of photography but without an inversing ring. I think it's called freelensing. Got some interesting results but you need a really steady hand for that.

Thank you :) I've tried freelensing as well but I don't like it due to the increased chance of filling my camera body with dust. With the camera mounted on a tripod, indoors, it works pretty well ;) The positive side is you could try all your lenses and then decide what ring to buy ;)

Yeah, you're right, dust is a problem. I had a Canon 550D and wasn't using it too much so I thought I'd give it a try. Now, with my mirrorless camera I wouldn't have the courage to try it :))

Lovely! I have a 550D as well and I have plans to turn it into an infrared camera if Hive keeps its value above USD 0.50, LMAO

Haha, had the same thought after experimenting with an IR720 infrared filter but ended up giving it away as a present to someone who wanted to learn photography

Oh, yes, it's a great entry level DSLR, perfect for learning and experimenting :)
