Infact there is another way to use this without reverse mounting the lens. Use your normal kit lens zoomed to its max focal length (usually 55mm or so). Hold another lens in front of the kit lens but in reverse (you'll have to hold it quite close to the cam lens). Ensure that the second lens is set at its max aperture f/1.8 or f/2.8. Now your kit lens will auto focus on the zoomed image from the second lens and you'll be able to take pics of things almost touching the second lens.

Here is one shot that I took using this technique. These are the inside stamen of a very small flower, should give you an idea of what type of macro is possible

Dunno, it is kinda slow for me here. I mean my photostream is taking like a minute to load....and the whole thing is kind of sluggish.

Update: I like their new autotagging feature.

wow thats fantastic advice!!! can it be used with a mounted 18-55mm and a 55-250mm in reverse? I havent bought any more lenses and my other 28-200mm has some haze(fungus im guessing) on the front element only

Its a variation only... You can even find filter rings that let you attach two lensee like this. I used a 16-55 lens with a 50mm f/1.4, do give it a shoy with what you have

[MENTION=138735]HARSHIL[/MENTION] composition is good but sky is looking overprocessed or overexposed ...remaining pic is quit dark...I think some metering mistake is there.

Did you see with monitor brightness turned high? It was a cloudy day so I made the HDR darker. I'll try to make luminosity more even :)
