A new Trick

A quick image of a new thing I tried this week.  Sinc I do not own a macro lens, I learned of a technique over at 2p's that takes care of that.  In this case, I used my 85mm lens attatched to my camera.  Then I took my 50mm lens, butted up the lens to my 85mm so that the part that connects to the camera is facing outward.  Then get in about maybe 1/2 inch from what you want to photograph, hold very steady and take the shot.  It would be much better using a tripod, but I wanted to try it out so bad I did without.  They have couplers that you can purchase to connect the two together to make it easier, you just have to make sure you get the right sizes.....
