Has anyone messed around with one of these before? Any tips?

I didn't have a tripod handy nor nearly enough light to get good shots, but it's a cool novelty for $11.

 

This was the best shot I got, but considering my supreme laziness, I'm very excited to see what I can do with a tripod and better lighting.

I think that I've tried the reversed lens thing before. My recollection is that the focusing range (depth of field) was very narrow.

 

For $11, though, it's worth it to experiment.

I read an article recently about photography tips and tricks using your smart phone.  One was to put a single droplet of water on the lens.  It won't run off, and will act like a macro lens.  I have not tried it yet.
