Haje Jan Kamps’ photocritic.org, "a collection of fun and exciting photography projects for people to enjoy" explains a cheap and (arguably) easy way to test the waters of Macro Photography without spending the big bucks.

In his post Extreme Macro Photography on a budget he explains, in a mildly cheeky manner, how to make a "surprisingly good macro lens" for less then £1 ($1.76713 USD) out of a Pringles can, lens & body cover, dremel, an old t-shirt, and of course tape and glue. Oh yeah, and a Canon 50mm f/1.8 MKII (or the equivelant in your land of lenses).

Another DIY project on photocritic.org is the The Mag-lite Photo Lamp.
