The first few I shot were weird (forgetting to line up the glass) because of the excitement of seeing the giant insect images in the viewfinder, unexpected from the simple setup. Now I can get photos that match and better the camera's Macro alone. Still exciting, more fun now because of a more stable attachment.

Hey Jiminy, thank you for the advice! I am definitely going to keep practicing ;-) I was just thinking it might be fun to try it on frost. I do find it challenging to keep the magnifying glass close to the lens, as I've been using my kit lens (18-135mm)...maybe using the tripod as well would help. Time, patience and practice will tell the tale ;-)
