Hello Forum

I own a set of close up lenses or filters that I bought because I want to take macro shots of insects and flowers. My problem with them is that I still have to come up with a photograph that I find acceptable. I know that the quality of close up lenses is not quite the same as a dedicated macro lens, but at the moment I cannot afford such a lens. Does anybody have some useful suggestions on their use? Any suggestion that can help me improve my results will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
