Beautiful photos and interesting technique with the inversion ring for macro photography. I have not heard of it and may have to try it one day.
I'm a little confused - you say you used an EFS 18-55 which is a f/3.5-5.6 if I'm not mistaken, does it come as an f/2 version also? And how do you get to f/1 that you mention under several photos.
This one made me LOL - I consider ISO 800 still quite high i.e. grainy and will use ISO 100 for low noise - guess things change 😆
ISO: Low ISO setting (800) to minimize noise in images.

Hi there @oceanbee :) first of all i'm super glad you like the visual result from this session :) and thank you for stopping by. About the lens i use, you are absolutely right, this is a Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6, but when it comes to the need to invert the lens through the ring, I lose the ability to manipulate the opening automatically and end up doing it manually ;) try it and you'll understand what I'm talking about :p about the ISO, you are right again lol 800 is still super high when we are trying to avoid the noise, but belive me, i'm doing this inside at night with a pretty weak artificial point of light and then i do the final edition in PS. Doing this with ISO 100 i would need much much more light :p once again, thanks so much for your comment :)
Thanks for clarifying the confusion with the f-stop. Really interesting concept I'll have to try. I'm pretty curious 😀.
Absolutely correct that you'd need way more light with ISO100, it was just the note 'low noise and ISO800' that sparked my LOL. Also, I find that newer cameras have a better noise handling even on cropped sensors. I recently changed from a full frame back to a CMOS and find it takes amazingly low noise pictures, even at ISO1600.
Anyhow, thanks for sharing these.
