Ladybird macro

[Steve Hillman]

A couple of shots of a Ladybird taken with my homemade macro lens ( a Canon 35-80 with the front element removed)
#1.


#2.

Excellent! That first shot is terrific.

How did you hear about this technique? How far is your resulting shooting distance? Can you show us the rig?

Thanks for sharing and hopefully other people can modify some existing gear as an alternative to buying a "macro" lens.

[CaraRose]

Love both of them.

I also second Loupey's request that you tell us more about your homemade macro lens

[scott-devon]

Real nice results, i've never heard of that lens conversion method. Tell us how it's done?

I too would love to hear about how you removed the front element and the resulting benefits.

Thanks for the comments, I will write a quick how-to and post it up.
