getting the hang of close up lenses

4th August
I watched a video on YouTube today about using the close up lens kits. I think I am getting the hang now, as I did not use the autofocus when I first used them. The concept is that by adding the diopters on to the front of the lens, the minimum distance at which focus is achieved is reduced - somewhat. This is todays best shot of a bee on the lavender in my garden.

This was taken with my 5D, a 24-105 lens, with the +4 and +1 lenses screwed on. ISO 100, aperture set at about 7.  Autofocus, no weighting. Taken in RAW and processed with a bit of boost of contrast and a bit of sharpening. The original shot was cropped to get the subject bee to take up more of the frame and this is where full sensor cameras will win as there is more there to crop. I had to take about 10 shots before selecting this one as the best. I need to see what the other bits of the kit can do.
