I hope that all the recent drama will subside and we can get back to why we all migrated here in the first place.

Just a public thought... :)

...and happy thursday!!

I dont see this as a photography only site:) I see it as a place to seek help whatever your subject but leaning more towards photography:)

just my feelings on the site:)

OK, I'm totally in the dark here, there are flashes specifically for macro work? Or are you guys talking about using a regular flash while doing macro work?

I really prefer natural light :)
01/26/2006 04:50:50 PM · #17
you could save some $$ and just get an off-camera cord if you already own a flash. of if you're a Nikon boy, use your wireless settings

I think they are these funky little ring flashes you can attach to your camera. I know that's how they work for underwater macrophotography...

Ah, Found one
01/26/2006 04:53:24 PM · #20
I'm a Nikon girl :)

So it's not a special flash, but a normal flash (I have the SB600, works great as a remote wireless).

I thought you guys were talking about some other contraption.

Sorry, too slow. I was answering DreamStalker

I believe he was refering to a ringlight flash such as this:
Ringlight macro flash

ooo ooo, let's see if we can all post at the same time! Ready.... set... go!

Ah, OK, yes, I've heard of those ring flashes. Somewhere I saw a bunch of butterfly shots made with the aid of a ring flash - they were just beautiful.

Has anyone here tried these ring flashes?
01/26/2006 04:56:47 PM · #24
yes its the ringlight flash ;)

i'm talking expensive toys though :( anyone wanna be my sugar mama?
LOL!

It's a bit different than that Tim. If you use a normal flash gun hand-held, you're going to get serious shadows. Even with reflectors all over the place, the camera lens is so close to the subject that you can't get light onto it.

The ring-flash is the best way but they're expensive. Even a light tent doesn't work that well as again the lens just gets in the way and casts shadows
