If you turn your lens around and hold it up to the camera (50 mm works best in our experience) it turns it into a macro lens. For free. And then you can take pictures like this. Awesome.

You just hold the lens up so it is not attached to the camera?
I remember you showing us that trick in class, Sarah!
Catherin, Yes, it's not attached. The lens needs to be wide open (small fstop #)
