It would be nice to get that wide angle perspective feel to macro shots going (unfortunatly here only 28mm on a dslr so not very wide), the lense of the wide angle has to be right up against the subject to get it to fill the frame at all. The subject in these is actually touching the lens. Any hints on lighting the subject? my ring flas is about 25mm deep, and when i get far enough away to use it the subject is too small, when it is close enough the ring flash only provides back lighting. has anyone ever tryed anything like this? how do you get a 3 point light, or any other set up going?
The second two are ring flash, hence the back light, and the first two are halogen, (sorry yellow cast) but still not lit from the viewers position as the camera lense gets in the way . the rest of the shots were even worse with respect to the light getting bounced into the lens giving really blown out highlihgts. I was thinking of ripping a fiber optic lamp to peices and trying to wire it to a flash some how?
Oh and any other criticisms sugestions or hints on the results so far very welcome pleas
thanks
