Yeah, macro lens are awesome. I used it to catch e.g. [link] It was so hard to do (because of sharpness) but I love my lenses.
What do you need to use reverse lens technique? Any special parts of device?

No, you just reverse your lens and take a picture with it,
but you have to hold it so it's not very good and makes it
harder to take a good picture
And not so safe for your material
How much did your macro lens cost ?

Yup There are 4 macro lens = +1, +2, +4 and +10. I can put one of them to my camera or all of them and make damn big zoom. I bought it on the internet - polish site www.allegro.pl Look for it on the internet, they're cheaper than in shops

paaniprezes In reply to Zebraa [2011-11-28 18:40:29 +0000 UTC]

so it's not much expensive, but a little worse than here, in Poland. I recommend you to capture money and but it

Hey,
good picture, but as you mentioned, most of the macros are about sharpness.
Use a tripod with remote-control release, capture on windless days and try
a higher iso. That causes grain, but you can capture with faster shutter speed (less blur).
Oh and: Take many many pictures of the same object.

Good shot and pretty color of the flower, as you said it's a bit blurry, tho, which make the raindrops look rather odd
