Do you shoot macro photography with your digital camera? For most of us you digital macro people, close-up filters are all we you need. I personally don't own any because I'm poor, and lazy. But if I did it would be all I need. (I'm not too bad off, because cropping usually is fine for me. I'll probably need to get some soon though because I'll need the full-frame.)

But what if it isn't close enough? What if you want to take a picture of a fly, ant, or a dragonfly? Conventional digital camera ways will not offer you what you want, so you got to go with what they call "poor-man's macro", when you take a regular 35mm camera lens, reverse it, and stick it on your digital camera.

Here is what you'll need:
- A digital camera that offers the option to screw on filters.
- Some close-up filters.
- Optional teleconverter.
- Optional off-camera flash.
- Male-Male filter ring.
- A 35mm camera lens. (50mm is recommended)

If you have those follow this overview on how to take pictures in extreme macro.

After going through everything I really wanted to go out and start taking pictures like these. But then I realized I don't want to take pictures of insects. Then I realized I really don't know what I would take pictures of. With the DF being paper-thin (seriously) I can't think of anything, although I will try it if and when I have the chance or need arises.
