Re: closeup/ macro advice

If you're really serious about using flash (I prefer natural light whenever possible), consider a flash extension cord, and of course a ttl flash compatible with your camera - there are many.

An extension cord will make it easy to do off camera flash from the side, which should, especially with a diffuser, make your lighting appear to be more natural.  It also opens up creative possibilities like back lighting.
