Cheers Ben, one of a series, same head different coverings. I have the 400d as well and still getting to grips with it. Love your images by the way.

I would love this for a day just to practice so car shots oh and a few laps would be nice.

Not sure how effective a set of close-up filters would be on a lens with no macro setting so haven't got new ones for the new camera.

I personally would buy someones stock lens off them, for around 30-40 squid, along with the reverse mount, some of the stuff you can do for under £45 is immense!

Thanks again, always nice to have feedback on my photos! I must admit, even thought its not unique and has been done before! unlike your series (jealous i did not think of it myself!), i would love to do a series based on this type of photo, with a really forced point of focus, through a lens of some type! (just like this http://angelajlee.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/lens.jpg)

Must admit though, I am very lucky, living in Cornwall, on what in my opinion is the most beautiful coastline in the UK, the images set themselves up! this is one of mine at Lands end

That's gorgeous Ben. Are you using a tripod or just supported on a rock or something? How slow is the shutter speed to get the "misty waves" effect?

I have found an old Canon lens from a film SLR someone in the family used to have so I may try out your reverse lens idea. I saw a You-Tube vid from Canon Australia where the photographer attached the reverse lens to her camera using gaffer tape!

Excellant Images in this thread so I will lower the tone with a few of mine!!

I hope that the Waterfront was OK (next road up), they do a bloody good steak in there!

On a more positive note, the Sea Cadets must have had rampant hard-ons with the river level that high!!
