Got home a bit early today, and so I took the reversed 75-150 for a walk around the apartments. This is the best shot I got, though I was shooting more to test the performance characteristics of a reversed 75-150mm E Series in the wild than to make a competent photo. I tried to take …

365.77 Pool of Dreams
Question: Why is there a tilt-shift type effect going on here? I’m probably going to take the 75-150mm E Series to the Arboretum for a meetup on Saturday, and I’m probably going to take it reversed, with ~30mm of extension tubes on the end as a sort of lens hood.

Once again, no details, as I’m still working out what’s going on, what I’m doing, and what this is all about… Whatever it is, it’s lots of fun!

365.74 Ohne Titel (but it needs a good one)
And another one that I want to see printed BIG. Oh what fun things you can make with a couple of flashlights and some coffee stirrer things that will one day become a gridspot for the SB700 (maybe later today, but probably not). D7000, 75-150mm f/3.5 E Series, Reversed. ISO100, 1″, f/16.
365.73 Some Strange Lights/Makes Me Dizzy
Well I was all set to do another Super Macro Bros. shoot (and did, in fact, shoot about 300 pictures with one or another or both of the brothers, and all of their siblings), and had designs on some more HDR for no good reason, but there was just one problem… Somehow, in changing lenses …

The Super Macro Bros.
Ever since I picked up a macro reverse ring and a set of extension tubes (this one and these, total cost $15.90), I’ve been wondering about mounting one lens on a second one just to see what would happen. I didn’t see a way to pull it off for quite some time, but then, in …
