When was this taken and where were you going??? Sounds french to me?

[destinws2]

@1959Southernman

I spent 3 weeks in Africa. 1 1/2 weeks in the smallest nation in Africa (The Gambia), and 1 1/2 weeks in the war-torn nation of Sierra Leone. I'm flying back to the USA from Senegal, hence the French announcements in the plane.

Unless you want to take cool photos in the field without a macro lens

@drasco61084 A DIY lens tutorial would imply its used on an SLR, so the title does say you need "one of those kind of cameras".

[SuperDuperficial]

Wow, I did not know you could change the lens around like that and make it a macro lens.

Totally going to try it if I ever get a window seat sometime.

Thanks!

@CrunchyBrush Not all DSLR's are high end, and some of the macro lenses cost more than the lower-end DSLR's. For example my camera body cost about $420 but if I wanted a macro lens it would be $500 XDD

cooool

[CrunchyBrush]

To be fair, if you can afford to purchase a high end camera, it is likely that you are also able to afford a macro lens, but this is pretty damn awesome.

[drasco61084]

oh.. but the title doesn't say you need one of those kind of cameras. lol not "on the cheap" unless you already have one of those.

[noesabie]

thats only on cheap planes

@Justin5645 3 seconds is a bit arbitrary, that's more than enough time to get dust in there, just exercise common sense - if you don't do anything dumb like try this at a building site or anything that dusty, you'll be fine. If you really care about your camera, you'll have a lens brush and huffer anyway and a speck or two of dust will be easily removed without scratching the glass...saying 'don't do this' is a knee-jerk reaction which is unhelpful in the extreme.
