Anita - Thanks! I am using a Canon 7D with a 100mm EF 1:2.8 USM lens. I have pieced together a flash setup that has greatly improved my percentage of keepers. I will attempt to attach a few shots of the rig I am using. - Mike #9534130Anita Hogue July 19, 2011 0
Thanks so much for sharing this, Mike! You certainly have some fabulous macros! #9540351Anita Hogue July 19, 2011 0
My flash is not the exact as yours but similar. Is that a softbox diffuser on the flash? I went to B&H but couldn't find all those parts. #9540385Michael Umbreit July 22, 2011 0
Anita - Thanks! I hope the information I sent you helps out! - Mike #9547756

Linda - Thanks...and you are welcome. I was going to order a ring flash but decided to try building something first. I already had some of the parts so it wasn't as costly. I have never used a ring flash so I would be interested in seeing how well your setup works. - Mike #9550778Bill T. Pehrson July 25, 2011 0
Hi Mike Wow! I'm glad I came and looked at your recent Macro photos. Dynamite! I like your set up. Would love to get together with you and have you teach me some things. Ypu are an inspiration -- just the sort of kick in the pants I needed to get back and get active again on this Better Photo website. Thanks again. I value your friendship.

Bill - Thanks! I am looking forward to seeing your new work! We will have to meet out at the arb sometime soon. - Mike #9553945
