Respected Sir, First of all, all those lens are not macro but wide angle and telezoom. The minimum distance you can get to with 18-70 lens is around 35cms and with 70-300 is somewhere around 1m. So you should get a better macro like, 50 mm F2.8 Macro or SAL 100 mm F2.8 Macro. Both options are there in SONY. For closeup use flash with smaller aperture. Even when you have enough light then also you can use flash, You may even get a ring flash for the same. The closeup lenses which you said dont work much, as they are more of a magnifying lens. They do focus on the centre but cause aberration on the edges. While taking closeups, you may bring the subject away from the background so as to keep extra things out of focus. Decreasing the aperture will increase the depth of field, i.e., more clarity will be there in the details of the flowers and vice-versa. Rest I hope you know how to edit pictures on adobe photoshop.
