I actually have some pretty dope macro photos from around the house. Macro photography is sweet because you can throw on some rings and find cool stuff you never would have thought to photograph.

Thanks man, its a lot of fun. I would not bother with mounting it backwards, just get a set of Macro rings like these:

I'v been messing around with this reverse lense kit and think I'll get an extension tube that has the metal points in it so I can use the automated lense features.
This is my best pic

I have some dank macros of my taint

nah but macro is fun. I had a somewhat cheap lens with my 6D and had some fun with it but I would want to drop some more money to actually get into it. Still fun, I personally just focus on other things atm.
