Lovely shots, though, cat001! Very cool!

Yep, I use a macro ring flash which hooks onto the front of the lens, and I also control the flash output! |

Tell me about this...do you need to be able to interchange lenses to use one of these? I'm working with a point-and-shoot, with a spring-loaded clip-on macro lens (it's gonna be a while 'till I can upgrade to a DSLR).

Typically the camera would need a hot shoe so the flash could be attached, but not many point and shoots allow for the attachment of external flashes. Though was just doing a bit of research on macro ring flash and point and shoots for you and found something which might be worth looking in to... Marumi LED8 macro ring light...google it and see what you think! It states that it's ideal for digital compact cameras! Last edited by cat001; February 14th, 2010 at 11:24 PM. |

I've got a Canon Powershot SX10 IS if that narrows my options for you... or widens them (I'm still a camera newb)

Neat shots
In the 1st pic in post 11 how did you get the background/under the bug black but reflective? I'm assuming it is on a mirror.......?
