Amazing tip! Thank you koji!

very nice macro shots bro koji! love the gecko shots esp.

Hi Bros, I tried this inverted lens method and found that I have to go very very near (like a few cm) the subject to get a good focus. So I can't get focus on items in the tank as the nearest I can get to the subject is the tank glass.

Anyway to work around this?

I am using Canon 18-55 stock lens by the way.

Thanks

I'm also using a 18-55 lens for these shoots. The thing for this method is to capture details from the smallest subject as possible.

I can see the reflection of flash in the eye. How do you bounce the flash down to the subject? I used paper to bounce the flash down, but i can see shadow of the len in the picture. Any picture to show your setting?
