lense over shadowing macro pictures ?

[K-Y-L-E]

Hey all i was wondering if anybody else has problems with the lense getting in the way of the flash when there taking macro shots and if so i'd
like to hear some idea's on how you guys get around this problem

Here's what im talking about

There's only one way around this and it requires extra light to balance that bit of the scene. I'd recommend either a reflector, or a ring flash depending on your budget!

There probably isn't one specific to your camera, but if it has a lens screw filter, then you could just put one on from another brand and trigger it with a shoe connector.

Looks like i will just have to get around it with a relfector setup of some sort because my lense has no screw type fittings like this :banghead:
oh well i'l figure out something

Have you thought about a slave flash. These can be held over the subject and will fire when your camera flash fires.

Just a simple thought, you are taking them without a lens hood right? sometimes the simple things can be overlooked.
