Project 52 Weeks: Week 2

January 16, 2010

i have so much to share, but i have to post my 52w from last week first!  i had a couple different ideas in mind this week, but due to not having access to photoshop, i went  easy.   i have been trying to do the “poor man’s macro,” (when you take your lens off & flip it around & hold it over the hole the other way), but i was pretty unsuccessful.  i am definitely not steady enough, and i was having trouble getting correct exposure.  i got a cheap reverse mount for $10 at amazon & it made it much easier.

the little black circle in norah’s hands is the reverse mount.  such a simple little thing, but it made things MUCH easier!  and the little ball of the end of the hanger is what i used in the pic above.  you can see the “wrong” side of the lens in the reflection.  :)

and just some sweet baby lips with the poor man’s macro.  definitely harder to achieve focus than a real macro lens!
