Thank you very much !

wow that is pretty close, what F/ did you have?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well it's not made with macro lens. I just used the normal 18-55 lens backward on the body of the camera so it's kinda F/infinite as you can see in the details of the photo.

the word infinite confused me a bit.
So you mean you can go as close as you want?

Not really but it is very close. A macro at 1:1 dimension is much farther than in my snowflake photo. I think somewhere around 2 to 5 mm of the subject and the magnification is also great as you can see.
Imagine that normal lenses take a big picture and make it smaller on the camera. When you invert the lens it takes something very small and make it bigger.

foarte fain cadrul ... de curios, cu ce obiectiv ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Obiectivul e cel normal de pe Canon 1000D sau Rebel XS cum ii zice peste ocean, adica un EFS 18-55mm pozitionat invers pe body-ul aparatului
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
frumos ... cu ce il montezi pe aparat ? sau folosesti doua obiective si inel inversor ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Exista si inel inversor cu o parte in care fixezi obiectivul invers si cu cealalta il prinzi in body. Eu ceva in genu asta am facut daor ca momentan nu gasesc inel inversor la un pret acceptabil pt obiectiv de 58mm. Eu l-am tinut cu mana lipit de body. Ce e drept cu obiectivul invers faci poze de pe trepied asa ca mi-a luat vreo 20-30 min pana mi-a iesit una ca eu am tinut si obiectivul si body in mana

Desperate people...do amazing things! The snowflake turned out so great, I'm this close to try it myself.
Too bad I didn't see this yesterday, before my little photo session in the snow.

i'm going to guess that this is a bigger than lifesize macro shot? my shots at 1:1 are no way close to this close 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I don't have the money for macro lens, I have only a 70-300 tele-macro at 1:2 so I hold the normal 18-55mm lens backwards on my body.
Anything it's backwards this way. At 55 you are at the most farthest and at 18 you are closest. Imagine I was at few millimeters form the snowflake.
I have to mention that I can go closer than this. This one was at 24mm because at 18mm I was to close to the subject and only a little part of it was clear.
Glad you like it. Thanks and wish you a great year !
