Lens Reversal Macro Photography (2013)

Lens Reversal Macro Photography

Level: Intermediate | Duration: 0 hr 32 min 36 sec | Released: 12 April 2013 | 266 MB

In this course, photographer Ben Long details the tools and techniques of lens-reversal macro photography. After investigating reversal ring options, the course explores the focusing and exposure techniques involved when shooting with a reversed lens.

You don’t necessarily need a macro lens to do macro photography. By mounting a prime lens “backward”—with the front elements closest to the imaging sensor—you can turn it into a low-cost macro lens. All you need is an inexpensive adapter called a reversal ring. A sense of adventure helps, too, because your camera’s normal metering and focusing features don’t work when the lens is attached backward.
