I am so incredibly sorry for no answering...I am not on here as much as I used to be...there is a reverse ring made that threads on to each lenses filter threads...so the 50mm is reversed on the 70-200mm (the 70-200 is looking through the bigger end of the 50mm) using two tripods, I then then move the bottom tripod up and down to achieve focus. The canon MP-E 65mm is a lot easier to use and gets close to the same results, I just could not afford it :o) so tried my way with what I had :o)

I have to say "WOW" too...just like everyone else. It's one of those things in nature you miss with the naked eye.
Beautifully done!
