Wow, I applaud your patience! Please tell me, did you use a ring flash? If not, how are they not blown out?

Waaawww!!!!!!!! Great job! I like no 3 the most and I must say I admire your patience. I tried to do some macros this summer and I think I spent more then an hour taking pictures... I was with my hubby in a wild part of my country ( it's a place where it can pass 2 days and you don't see anybody- it's just you, the tent and nature) Anyway...I was captured by those little insects and I didn't realized that time passed and my hubby went down river ( he was fishing) And at one point I heard him screaming, he was really scared that something bad happened to me,beacause he didn't head or seen me for more then an hour.

Just STUNNING!!!!!!

The colours and the detail is amazing. What sort of tripod do you use? and do you use a ring flash or a normal one?

Just got back from Vegas

Thanks for all the comments. For those who asked, I use a ProMaster 7500 with a Lumiquest softbox and Canon off camera flash cord. The flash and softbox are mounted on a Manfrotto macro flash bracket.

The Lumiquest softbox and flash bracket help me to be able to spread the light more evenly. It takes some trial and error. I always use my flash in manual mode.

edit:Hoppy...no tripod. All my macros are handheld. Most are shot at 1/250s with flash.
