For the aperture I normally fix it @ F8 or F11 and I use 28mm lens so my working distance is really close..haha

feel that more dof is required, if it is possible.

best if the emphasis is on composition, else you risk ending up what some would call a "magnifier", i.e. not a photographer.

I advise u get a prime lens for this and I think you can find some cheap manual lens ard in the B&S section.

ya best to use prime lens that can let u adjust the aperture also...

at 1st i was silly enuff to actually use a 50mm f1.8 with no aperture control at all..untill a friend point it out to me that it will be much easy with 1 that can adjust aperture....

Pictures don't have a good composition. Need more DOF. There is also OOF and handshake.

Reverse mounts are tougher to control. Try harder and you shall get great shots. Good start Don't give up bro
