Just started macro photography

[Ryates_788]

I have just started doing macro photography, I'm using a canon 650d, 18-55mm kit lens. I attached close up magnifiers to front of camera. Please have a look at results and let me know what improvements I can make. Thanks Ryan

Get a real macro lens.. or at least tubes for the 18-55. The only decent Macro attachment that fits on front of a lens is the Raynox DCR-150 /250 and one screw on filter that is made by Canon... Amazon.com: Canon 500D 77mm Close Up Lens: Camera & Photo

These are ok for what you shot it with, but they can easily be improved if you want sharpness and detail.

And less vignetting, as in the second one.

Also, I don't know if there are tubes that work with the 18-55, as it's EF-S. Those are good for close-up filters, but tubes are the way to go, usually with a 50mm f/1.8.
