My still limited macro set up does not allow me yet to take extreme macro photography, something as extreme as shooting self-portrait from the reflection of the tip of a ball point pen, something as extreme and as clear as this, which was taken by combining a Canon S1 IS compact camera and a reverse DSLR lens. The web page is in Russian but the tool of the craft speaks universal language.
I’m trying to get there but at the moment, this is the closest I can get to the ball point tip. The photo was shot with a Canon PowerShot G6, and a Raynox DCR-250 super macro conversion lens.

A few months ago I shot this portrait on a ball point pen

I used a Raynox MSN-202 on a Canon SX100.
The tricky thing is to get a pen with a really shiny and polished ball, becouse i tried with several pens and some of them were not very reflective
Beautiful close ups. How reliable are Panasonic Digital Cameras. I have found Canon Digital Cameras very UNreliable, I have had three faulty ones.
