Thank you. (:
Macro shots have some colours I don't even imagine while I look at things with my own eyes.

Well I don't have macro lenses, I just used the "Reverse lens" technique.

Well, I think some cameras have on themselves the hook to mount lenses on the reverse way (for example: [link] ), so if this is your case, there's no risk for you because they will act exactly as normal lenses.
Instead, if you don't have this hook, you'll have to hold everything with your own two hands. one hand on the camera, as normally; the other hand holding the lens, trying to keep it in the right position and allined with the camera hole... this is not very comfortable, and in the end, if you don't have strong hands the lens or the camera can fall down. it is necessary to pay a lot of attention.

Well it is just a "macro" effect, nothing more.
It works exactly as if you had macro lenses. So good luck to you!

Yes: that's why "reverse lens" is also called "the macro of the poors"
