Best setup for macro photography

[fernjef]

I Recently bought myself some new equipment in order to try some macro photography. It consists of a Nikon D3100, a AF-S 85 F3.5 macro lens, a 1.4x teleconverter and 3 soligor expansion rings (12mm, 20mm an 36mm) and a Sigma EM-140 DG ringflash. I am a newby to photography but I like to learn about the best set-up in order to get the best Macro pictures. I would love to be able to catch the sharp outlines of the eues of a fly at one time. Can you pro's please help me? Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Jeffrey

Now you need really good tripod legs and a good tripod head that has focusing rails.
