Extreme Macros from a fabric lover

A few months ago I picked up a digital photography magazine and read an article about Thomas Shahan. As a student on a low budget he discovered by that by turning the camera lens the other way he achieved a macro image.

Use a fixed lens for example 50mm or 40mm , unscrew the lens and carefully place it in front of the camera. Lower the f-stop to get more light in. The focusing distance is reduced and the magnification increases.

So I took some objects from my sewing table like pins,snaps, spools and buttons and tried the technique.
