What I&#8217;ve learned so far is that the focus ring on the reverse lens doesn&#8217;t make much difference. None that I could tell. It&#8217;s also better to use manual focus on the normal lens, otherwise it has to hunt around a lot, or you have set a single focal point and not an average. For this picture I think I used manual focus, but it can remember for sure.<\/p>\n<p>It also helps if you can steady your hand against something while shooting to reduce forward-backward movement. Getting the focus just right is tricky, so you want to be as still as possible. This Lego man was on top of my dresser so I could steady myself on the dresser. The dresser is right next to the window, which faces roughly southwest so the sun was shining through quite nicely. <\/p>\n<p>In terms of processing, I didn&#8217;t do much &#8211; just some contrast. The vignetting is from the reverse lens, but it worked nicely for this shot.  I probably should have wiped the dust off before shooting.
