I don't use any flash for macro work. Though I do have a softbox now so I might give that whirl. If you want to see what it looks like simply shading the flower and throwing some reflected light check out these shots I took at the Getty center in LA.suemack said:Do you use the on-camera flash or have you got a separate one? Presume your Walmart is like our 'The Warehouse' el cheapo bargain place. Hope you don't mind all these questions
I've been having a blast even w/out the tripod, visited our local petting zoo last w/end...... just for the practise of using the new lens of course

Yup, simple sunlight. I used to dread shooting in the afternoon sun with no cloudcover. But when you can alter the light it makes all the difference. Of course, I did have my beautiful assistant there to hold the reflectorsuemack said:They're wonderful! That red dahlia .....the colours on that are scrumptious. I do see what you mean about the reflected light. A lot of the reds esp I've been getting in my flower pics have been way too harsh, not been quite so bad with the softer shades.
The light reflected is just the sunlight? Have never seen someone using a reflector.
Oops......better go, am going to be late to work!

vonnagy said:yeah, finding photo equipment for reasonable prices really blows here. I wouldn't trust the warehouse for tripods. If you are in auckland, 'camera and camera' is the best bet. They have the most reasonable prices in town and best gear.
They had a good travel tripod at this one place in Parnell (it was only about 60$ but has held together well), I'll see if I can remember the name of the place. It wasn't Pro Gear in Parnell, that place is evil - will never ever ever recommend anyone to go to those sheisters. :evil:
Where did you get your 300D?
