   This picture was taken by a simple and effective technique which is being used for taking macro shots in the absence of an actual macro lens .The  technique used here is the reverse lens technique. 

         For those who haven't got a clue on what this technique is ,it is the one in which the lens regardless of the type  ()is removed from the camera body and it is reversed ( turned )and then held close to the camera body and the arrangement  can be used for taking macro shots.But using this method do have its own risks.One of the risks involved in using the reverse lens technique is that if you are not careful enough to keep together the lens and camera body properly , then light passing directly inside the camera body(sensor ) can occur which will ruin your shot.This risk can be minimized to some extend by covering the arrangement with a black cloth (Like in the old days).
