Just thought I'd share a little trick I learned for getting extremely magnified macro pictures without using a true macro lens. The idea is that you are using the optics in lenses backwards so you don't have to get a specialized macro lens to get high magnification of subjects. This article gives you the basics behind the technique: http://digital-photography-school.com/reverse-lens-macro-close-up-photography-lesson-3" rel="nofollow - http://digital-photography-school.com/reverse-lens-macro-close-up-photography-lesson-3 Here are just a few shots I took using the "twin lens reverse macro" method: http://s1219.photobucket.com/user/aacp123/media/Close%20Up%20Macros/Duster2_zpsfb978f17.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s1219.photobucket.com/user/aacp123/media/Close%20Up%20Macros/Duster1_zps234fc960.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s1219.photobucket.com/user/aacp123/media/Close%20Up%20Macros/Copepod2_zpse5ed885b.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s1219.photobucket.com/user/aacp123/media/Close%20Up%20Macros/Copepod1_zps0b7b1b27.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s1219.photobucket.com/user/aacp123/media/Close%20Up%20Macros/Copepod_zps7c6e3ad1.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  (None of these photos have been edited beyond cropping and slight sharpening)
