365.1 Macro Mini Coconut Cream Pie



365.1 Macro Mini Coconut Cream Pie

And so begins the 365 Project.

I received a set of extension tubes and a macro reverse ring in the mail today, so what better time to start the 365?

For this image, I used the 75-150mm f/3.5 E Series, reversed, and attached to 49mm worth of extension tubes. The subject is a set of three delicious miniature coconut cream pies that a neighbor made too many of. I’m glad she did, because 1) they were YUM and 2) they gave me something to try the macro reverse ring out on.

No flash, ISO 400, lit by an old desk lamp at 1/60 of a second. I’m not sure what millimeter I was at here, because I have no idea how all that stuff works when the lens is reversed.

I think it turned out fairly well, considering I had no real clue what I was doing!
