Title: Quads – Smoke

Gear: Canon 400D, Canon EF50/1,8 II

Data: ∞ mm, 1/60 sec, f0, iso 400

Comment: This is the first submission in a photo project I started to keep myself busy. I love to shoot macro but I don’t have a lens for it. What I did here was to turn my EF50 backwards, which gives the very same effect. The data is all wrong because the camera doesn’t recognize the values when the lens isn’t mounted correctly. Infinite focal length and aperture is zero (in reality it’s the lowest; f1.8). This technique means no auto focus and manual shutter speed. But it’s okay.

Anyways, the idea behind this photo, and the upcoming in the same project, is to make four macro shots and put them into one picture. The objects are things I associate with my childhood. Without getting to deep into possible childhood traumas lets just say both my parents were smokers.
