I don't have a macro lens but tried a technique where you turn the lens round and shoot through the front element and you get an instant, cheap version of a macro lens. I think I am right in saying the wider the lens the closer you get to the subject.
This is a 5 pence coin.
3 good things:
1 - Watching the new James Bond movie, Spectre in the afternoon
2 - Great fun working at the darts that evening
3 - Beers and playing pool after work at the hotel with colleagues
