Reverse macro: 50mm reversed and hand held to front of 18-55 lens attached to camera, when doubled up like this i get a dark halo effect. If I just hand hold the reversed lens straight into the camera mouth a 'normal' macro shot. As I have no adapters it gets pretty tiring on the hands. I always open the aperture of the lens (or both lenses) as wide as possible - gives a very shallow DOF so remaining focused is a matter of subtle shifts in position of myself or at least my hands - a moving subject (like the bee) becomes a very interesting/testing experience!!
