It's an 18-35mm lens on an eos 300D.

 

The pics above were taken with a canon powershot which I bought 2nd hand and struggle with!

 

You might consider getting a set of close-up lens (supplementary lens) for your lens.

Each is a screw-on 'addition' to your own lens. They're available in different strengths and if you're experimenting without a big budget - they might be worth a look.

I did see that on the next page - one is tasty and the other will kill you, or - if you're lucky - give you cancer!

 

I inadvertently confirmed the ID on this one by knocking the top off with my foot, thinking it was a loose fruit body of Sparassis - this revealed a hollow tubular stem, which I poked a stick into and stuck the cap back on - hence the jaunty angle.

 

Thanks Dee, I used to have one of things years ago, I might get one again once I've got my head around the basics.
