270EX for macro

[orionmystery]

A few test shots of a single 270EX on Front Mounted Macro Bracket (FMMB), and MPE65, full flash. All Exifs are intact.

Heavy shadow on the lower part of the subject. I think it's because the light comes down from a higher angle.

Very dim catch lights in the eyes. Again, caused by the same high light angle i think. Refer to the setup pic.

Like the results and can see the how the angle is affecting the light. Though I wonder if you were to mount the MT-24 heads on say some Kaiser hotshoe, would you not be able to achieve the same high angle. I have one flash head mounted on one of these, and use it as a sort of flood light. Then other I light from the side. Looking to try out the light tent option following your earlier results.

I have to ask what of the two flash setups you now use. Do you now use this 270ex version - or the MT-24ex ?

No..i don't want high light angle as i believe it will create heavy shadow on the lower part of subject.

Been using the MT24EX with concave light tent: MT24EX concave diffuser quick update | Up Close with Nature

For this 270EX setup, i use the same concave light tent as well.
