Easy Macros on Sunday

I have been wanting to try Macro for so long, but wasn't sure what to buy and honestly, I just don't have the money for an actual Macro lens... so I was so very excited to learn something the other night.  I learned that you can flip your 50mm lens around and it becomes a macro lens.  The dof is very shallow and it is very hard for me not to shake.  You obviously have to move back and forth until you find the sweet spot, but it is fun.  I'm still getting the hang of it, but here are a few shots I took this afternoon.
These are all SOOC I just converted them from raw and resized for the web

  2. So this actually works. Nice! I tried reversing my 18-55mm but nothing happened. Must try my 50mm sometime soon.
