Macro Photography with B2M Adapter & Reversed Lens

Because I don't want to spent some money for a dedicated macro lens which is cost around S$800, several months ago I bought some equipments for macro photography in the Bursa.Fotografer.Net. Following a tutorial and some other pages in the internet, I bought a Body-to-Male Adapter for EOS-58mm, a Male-to-Male for 58mm-52mm, and a Macro Extension Tube Set for Canon EOS. But only this evening I tried those equipments.

I took my first macro shots with Body-to-Male (B2M) Adapter between my Canon EOS 40D camera and reversed EF-S 18-55mm IS lens. I put my objects about 5cm from the end the lens. In the beginning it was not easy as I thought. But after some shots and trying some focal length, I got used to it. You can see the detail picture of some coins and some images of bank notes below (no cropping):
