Pollen[/caption]And so, I tried this reverse ring that can take macro shots even without a macro lens! You just have to deal with manual focusing. I prefer using a prime lens, in my case, a Nikkor 50mm 1.8f , because it still has aperture blades that you can select so you still can control the light passing through the reversed lens and bokeh.

Point Out[/caption]These images were taken and saved on JPEG. I could have have been more flexible in adjusting during post-process if I knew how to work on with RAW images. Nonetheless, I am satisfied with the results.

String[/caption]Some of these shots were printed on 8R and I was astonished how vibrant the colors are! They the softness is too much since I have opened the aperture a bit wider than the usual since I have to adjust manually, if only I have the macro lens, it could have been a lot better!

Peeking Out[/caption]So if you do not have the budget yet for a macro lens, this is worth trying! This will test your patience, creativity and composition skills.

ReplyDeletegondoh nomon!
ReplyDeleteoh well :P
ReplyDeletethe reverse ring is really one cheap unit you can use with your 50mm or kit lens to take macro shots. The only downside is the manual focusing (especially when you are used to AF lenses). Your photos are decent enough but I would still prefer to take shots in RAW for I will have more control over it on post processing specifically on the white balance.
ReplyDeletethis is a great article, thanks to your post I remembered I have to buy this reverse ring for my DSLR too. It is so cheap that anyone can buy and enjoy a million macro photos they desired. Great shots by the way. My next visit to SN North would be to buy this reverse ring.
ReplyDeletePMG I still have to learn a lot more about photography! These shots are great!
ReplyDeleteThe shots are really magnificent. I hope I can shoot as well as you.
ReplyDeleteGreat close up shots. Kudos!
ReplyDeleteWow! Subjects are vividly captured. Thumbs Up. I have no camera so I'll let my eyes feast on these magnificent shots.
ReplyDeleteExactly, I didnt know how to manipulate RAW when I had these shots taken. Ill redo the same floral shots soon on RAW.
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots! Pedeng pede na to sa NatGeo. Keep it up! :)
ReplyDeletegorgoeus photos! I have a macro lens as well but haven't have time to explore its wonder! will try it soon! xx
ReplyDeleteI never thought these photos may still have to be redone despite the excellent captures. For me, they are all great shots though. I am no master in photography but this collection can be perfect for an exhibit.
