I was just reminded that the photography forum isn't a place to post tons of pictures (not particularly a gallery). But I included the barrage as part of the 30-minute, see-how-stinkin'-easy-it-is-for-even-a-knucklehead-to-get-good-results-pretty-quickly demonstration. If you want to nuke 'em, feel free, moderators.
Closeup photography doesn't have to be mysterious or expensive or esoteric. This technique will work with any camera that can accept screw-on filters. Doesn't have to be a DSLR. Just screw on the magnifying filter, set it to auto, and follow the two simple rules and BOOM!
