 This was a fun experiment! Once again, the wife went to bed early so I decided to enter something at the last minute. Took a pic of the power button on my laptop with the 100mm macro. Threw it into PS, resized it way down, took a screenshot, stuck that in paint so I could move it around very easily. Reverse mounted the 50mm to the 100mm macro, stuck it right up to the screen and moved the afore mentioned pic under it.

I expect this to score poorly, but I sure had fun making it!

I've even stood far away from my desk and I still can't figure out what it is. It looks like the power button on a piece of equipment.

Have you seen those tee shirt with the blurred words like "I've had to much coffee" or whatever. This picture makes me feel light headed, like one of those shirts, and I can't look at it for very long.

This picture does weird things to my eyes on my monitor. Good effect!

I think I need glasses after viewing this! Good effect, except for the depth of field making it blurry toward the top of the frame.

interesting attempt...almost makes me want to try... but the outcome reminds me too much of seeing plaid on tv.. too much straining for focus.
