Nice 'tweak' though David, you must show us all sometime.

Hi I-Berg, one of the problems with the verticals on a shot like this is that you are almost always taking the 'window' shot looking up.

This means that you can never really straighten the verticals without losing the true perspective. Personally I dont mind, but that is my view. Still a great shot.

Hi there

If the lens has some/all of these markings is one way: -

Has it got any of the following stamped on it

N/AI or OM or MD, 1.1, (at least 1.1, better than 1.1 improves, I.E. 2.1/5.1

Macrolenses are expected have at least a 1:1 ratio between the image produced and the subject's size. More expensive macro lens can have greater magnifications, such as 5:1, which means the image in the picture will be five times larger than it is in real life.



Then this points you in the right direction


A cheaper option if your budget is really tight at the moment could be: -

Close up lenses (or supplementary lenses) are perhaps the cheapest alternative of getting into Macro Photography on a budget. These small lenses screw into the filter thread of your camera’s existing lens and allow the lens to focus closer than it’s normal minimum focal length. In doing so they allow you to fill more of the frame with your subject.
These lenses often come sold in a set of 3 and are labeled as +1, +2 and +3 etc (with +3 being the largest magnification).

However you do lose focus at infinity and some quality as you are adding an extra element.

Plenty of these can be found fairly cheaply on E Bay or similar: -
