Well, technically it won't win any prizes...but as an experiment it's okay.
It's not about the equipment; it's the results you achieve with it.

It is a great starting point

What did you use to make the lens??

Nah mate. I only smile in the presence of (And in no particular order) Harley Davidson motorcycles, my niece who I adore, pints of cider, chocolate, bacon sarnies, and large breasts.

The lens was made from a spare body cap, some silver foil taken from an old cat food tub, and some super glue. You have to be REALLY precise when making the actual hole. The smaller the hole, the sharper the image.
