Hi
Got my Raynox DCR-250 today so slapped it on my 18-300 and tried it out. Firstly, wow, you really have to get close and there is tiny DOF to play with, let alone getting it in focus. I found that I could AF on these as they were stationary. Sorry about the fly, he is an ex-fly and was being carried away by some ants before I rescued his corpse . The wife was a little disgusted, even more so when I showed her the end result .
Second shot is the stamen (I think?) from a rhododendron in our garden. Both were placed on white paper under our under-cupboard LED light. Pretty happy with the way they turned out but I do wonder on the usability of the Raynox having to get so close. Both were taken at 300mm, EXIF should be in Flickr. Feel free to critique etc.., lots to learn and no kit at the moment! (apart from the DCR-250)
EDIT - Flickr is down, can't upload so had to use Photobucket
The ex-fly
