Thanks man!
It's a high-end-ish flash, guide number 58, only with the secondary flash turned on. I used a 430ex too sometimes but I thought I take the advantage of the extra power the metz offers. Shooting at 200 iso f/18 (little diffraction is visible) no light except hard direct sunlight would have an impact on the image. I use relatively slow shutter speeds for the background or hold a leaf behind the subject to prevent it from becoming black.
Yes sir, that's it, simple and cheap
I'll tell you another secret: I used an old au de cologne spray filled with cooled boiled water (some bugs may have a problem with calcium in the water). When sprayed from a sufficient distance they stay put (at 10-15 degrees C moving isn't really an option for them anyway, being cold blooded).

Yep, my wrists are sore after an afternoon shooting with one hand, and the ballet shoot today wasn't helping either

Don't use a plant spray, those tend to spray very large drops comparable with 5L buckets of water at 100km/hour for a human. They'll scramble for cover!

--Terrific stuff. Not just close images but interesting and beautiful.
Have you seen the weekly macro threads in the Canon SLR Lens Talk group?
Here's a recent one from me. This guy's head is about 2mm wide.
Thanks a bunch. Yeah, I love the way the reflection of the lens in his eyes looks like irises.
Thanks a lot.
It's a crop of something like 55% of the width of the original shot at around 4.5:1, so yeah, about 8-ish.I have one at 2.77x magnification but yours must've been 10x or something
They'd certainly appreciate seeing your work.
Try stopping down the reversed lens. I tested my setup yesterday and found I got the best results with the EF-S 55-250 (at 250) at f/8 and the reversed Pentax 50/1.7 at f/9.5.
Thanks. Here's a more normal view of that one.
Oops. :-D
