I've been playing around with the Raynox on the 55-250 tying to work out how to get most of the globe with the tree reflection. The only way I could work it out was to take a sequence of shot and merge them. So, a 4 shot panoramic taken at Macro scale... Not ideal as I don't have a set of focus rails and pivoted the tripod head about the sensor plane (give or take) rather than the nodal point in the lens but it seems to have worked nicely.

LOL I love these kind of shots!. That looks very effective. I'm itching to have a go now.
