Lighting becomes a major problem with close-up work as you need to be using an aperture of at least f16 to try and cope with shallow depth of field.
I will try to do a bit on that as I find flash invaluable.
What I really like here is you are
not spending shed loads of cash on your kit in order to have a go. I promise that with practice you will achieve results that will be the envy of others on the forum. Duncan is quite right about practicing on everyday objects.
The single piece of other kit that will help you the most at these magnifications is a micro focusing rail. I will do a search and see if I can find a pic that I can link you to.
Keep posting pics and whatever details you can of distance from subject and particularly f stop used.
