These are great! #1 is simply fantasticand and #2 is pretty good as well; I think #3 looks a bit soft on the rear shell, but it could be me... (small laptop monitor in the office!)

What is your macro rig composed of?

 

[Bukitimah]

EDL I am using Nikon D300, AFD 50 mm f1.8 couple with Raynox DCR 250. I use external flash gun with DIY deffuser. Most hand held but at times tripod with remote shutter release.

I've been thinking about a macro lens but, after seeing what you have done with the Raynox and a 50mm 1.8, I think I'll try that rout. I already have a 50mm f/1.8 so I'm most of the way there. What f/stop works best with your setup? Wonderful shots.

I just looked up the Raynox. I've never heard of it! It looks neat and what amazing results. I'll have to do some more research on that.

I usually set camera to manual setting, f11-14 and speed 1/125 sec. External flash with diffuser. If you can, ISO around 200. A tripod would be useful. For hand held, you need to practice a lot and increase your speed more. In fact I dropped my Raynow last weekend and my heart dropped too. Luckily, when I pick it up, it is in a perfect condition! So the lens is actually quite solid.
