Fantastic Troy, thanks for that. What lens and camera were you using mate?

What does this mean? How do you physically do this?

As you already know I am in the market for the 5D with the 100mm macro, but I have the 400D Canon for the moment with the 18-55mm and a 4x screw-on.

By gee I am learning heaps from you blokes. I am blown away!

Baz.
