    Awesome shot! I’ve never really done much with focus bracketing like the other user suggested (I really should), but I’d recommend getting a lens reverser if you enjoy macro shooting. I got one for like $15 on Amazon and thew it on my shitty kit lens and love it. It requires a lot more patience and focus to use, since you don’t get any autofocus or aperture control, but it’s a super cheap way to get some great macro shots!

      I have one of these too! I bought it with the other things in my macro attachments. Very compact and cheap bit of kit. It produces an ultra short DOF so it’s only good if I’m capturing something on a flat plane using a tripod or if I end up doing focus stacking like I’ve been discussing with another commenter
