Sorry for the very poor video today gang - but there is some great info in there. I also should have been more clear - when you reverse the lens - you can't focus it easily. You focus by moving closer to and further from your subject. Have fun - experiment!
Thanks, Joe The audio was fine Don't stress the little things! I was using my iPhone for this challenge I was doing it to show you don't need the greatest stuff to work with. I will now use my Canon cameras starting tomorrow for the challenge.
Hey Joe, Thanks for doing this. It gives me something to look forward to and....I didn't even know you could do that with a lens. Turn it around I mean. Liking things so far.
Thank you so much for this. I'm stuck in Puerto Rico for god knows how long. Biggest downside is that the beaches are closed. Im defiantly going to try your challenge tomorrow. 😎
Joe, just going to thank you. Flat out; Thank You. I subscribed a sometime around 'eggs'. A while ago. I've always seen your work as a great investment of my learning time. Under the current self isolation edict you are focused on bringing rays of light into a very dark backdrop. Thank you for sharing your humanity and your skills.
I tried this today on my eosr and it would let me take a photo with the lens flipped. I also tried it with my canon 750D it would let me take a photo but I couldn’t get my nifty fifty lens to focus ☹️
Here is a trick for the Canon 750D Disclaimer First: Canon says to always turn your camera off before removing a lens! Do this trick at your own discretion! It could cause an issue with your camera/ or lens. I have done it in the past with no problems! But nothing is guaranteed!!! Try it at your own risk! The trick is to control the aperture inside of your lens! set your aperture to f8 more or less to get more depth of field. if you don't your aperture will open up on your lens to its widest setting. while the camera is turned on, press the depth of field preview button (I think the 750D has one) Check your owners manual! this button will stop down the aperture in the lens, hold the button and remove the lens this will keep the blades closed to the aperture you set. Like Joe said you have to get focus by moving closer and further away in a rocking motion to find the sweet spot that's in focus. Using this trick gives you more depth of field. Good luck have fun.

great video, thank you!
No need to apologize. You are providing a great service to all of us photographers. Thank you and keep it up as best you can.
I ABSOLUTELY love these videos--not only about how to take the photos, but also some PS tricks I had never known about. Keep up the great work.

Will applying the lens correction work with the lens flipped and not attached to the body of the camera?
Tried the reversing the lens thing. had WAY too much caffeine to try that today. haha

You focus by moving your camera closer and further away
Joe Edelman thank you I will try it again tomorrow. I’m in Scotland so it’s bedtime for me lol
