You heard me correctly- a DIY Macro Lens trick today!!
You can do this!
I found out about this last week from a photographer friend at church, and had to try it out and then share it!!! Its truly simple. For those of you with an SLR camera, you're going to flip your lens around. That's right turn it around and hold it in front of your camera. Now I'm not sure which lenses this works with. But I used my basic 18-55mm lens and these are the pictures that came out of it.
Note- your camera isn't going to be able to shoot on auto for the most part. It wont recognize how light/dark it is like it normally would. You're going to have to shoot on manual, and know a little about cameras. Here is a cheat chart that may help you that I found on pinterest.
But how much fun is that?! Super easy- just practice alot! I got it figured out pretty well after a couple of minutes!
I played with it on the 16 mile hike we took yesterday on Mt. Rainier. Of course I have to show off a few more photos of this GORGEOUS day!!
Just another day enjoying the Northwest!

Great trick. I never would have thought of that. I'll have to try it.
that little prairie dog is the cutest thing ever!
ah ha! I'll have to try that trick out tomorrow. and lucky you for getting to go hiking and seeing SNOW on mountains. I'm living in triple digit weather!
Thanks for sharing! I was wondering if it works for both SLR and DSLR?
very pretty
Found you on Tatertots and Jello link party. Love this idea. Now, if only I had an SLR camera.
Oh, and I am definitely gonna follow your blog. I went to law school myself, but am a stay at home mom at the moment.
Thanks for the post... but you are making me miss the Pacific Northwest. Originally from Portland, now living in the midwest.

That is such a great idea! Thanks so much for sharing.
Mt Rainier is so pretty! I can't believe I have lived in Kitsap County most of my life and have never gone there:(
