I decided to pick up a set of Hoya Macro filters, a close-up filter set obviously. Came with +1, +2, +4 filters. If anyone could explain the possible science behind the numbers, I'd love to hear it.
I stacked all three on top of the UV filter on my 50mm f/1.8, used a desk lamp for direct lighting (a tad bit behind the camera and to the right), and set the camera on my tripod to get the shots. Most of the shutter speeds were upwards of 30 seconds.
Does this classify as macro, or just an almost-there attempt?
