the other side
August 6, 2014
This week's challenge selection is the other side by Kathy. Check out my pals for their interpretations on this theme: Fishing Guy, Katney, Imac, Lew, and Christine Anne.
I thought I'd explore what it looks like on the other side of the camera. So, I set one up for a macro, then I set another one up on a tripod, manually focused on the face of the lens and triggered it with a wireless remote.
I also showed what it looks like from behind the simple hide I constructed for birding. It's a cheap remnant of black cloth, duct taped to the back door, with an asterisk cut to poke the lens hood through. This way, if I sit patiently, I can catch birds coming to the feeder at the edge of my deck.
If that lens looks odd, it's because I reversed it, showing the other side. A reversed lens is a hack to get closer for macro photography.

Got you thinking, didn't I?
Nice thinking Batman.
Watch this Birdie.
Nicely done and a self portrait! And a nice capture of the inner workings of a lens. I tried a selfie of the back of my camera with mirrors - just could not get the mirrors aligned properly.
Nicely done Craver, I like the photo with you in focus.
I really like your photo essay on this theme. You did a great job.
Very clever. : )
i think your interpretation was very clever and i love the results!
