most of the shots posted here were taken using reverse lens setup. if i not mistaken, #16 & #18 were shot at 28mm, pictures are uncropped. the magnification was huge, but so were the shakes

#17 full length shot


#18 last one....

Impressive shots with the reverse lens setup.
May i know how the setup is like and what will be the working distance to capture the shots?
Thanks.

Nikon reversal ring BR-2A, a tokina 28-70mm mounted in reverse with a 52-55mm adapter ring -- because the BR-2A is 52mm & the tokina is 55mm.

Working distance varies according to which end of the focal length used. at 28mm, you are probably about 1.5 to 2 inches away from the subject. at 50mm, i am guessing about 3 inches or so. hope this gives you an idea.
