Default Tulip Festival in Melbourne

Hi guys
I want to share some of my macro works on Tulip Festival last week.
I did most of my shots using a 50 1.4 reversed, handheld.. Haven't got any reverse ring adapter so far... Ordering from ebay though
If any of you have similar reversed-lens macro works, would you please share with all of us in this thread?

Cheers

Question... if your lens is reversed doesn't that leave it open to get dirt and scratches on it? Great shots by the way.

Do you mean leaving dirt and scratches to the sensor or the lens itself?
If it's on the body, I'm trying to fit the reversed lens by holding it tight to the sensor's hole as fit as possible, for the shortest time possible too...
If you just reversed your lens for example 5 minutes using an adapter, that would be fine though... Just don't left it there too long
