Lovely Image Jitendra. Nice experimentation. Good to see a good variety of images from you. Did you use an Adapter for reversing the lens?

[Jitendra Katre]

thanks Bibhav,.. no, i don't have the adapter, i just held the reversed 18-55 in front of camera body, maybe little risky but i think it works better than dedicated macro lens, only you have no control over the aperture.

Good try. There is a dedicated Canon lens for such closeups. Canon MP - E 65. It is a manual focus lens and can produce 1x magnification to 5x magnification.

Very few people use it because this lens despite being a 65 mm lens cannot be use as a normal lens as it only focusses a very short distance infront of the lens.

Cheers,

Nice experimentation. It looks like a abstract composition. Its good to see different varieties in macros. Look forward to more.
