Re: 'go to' flash setup for macro

What are you using for diffusion - and taking pics of  (eg bugs )?

Broad soft light is better than hard flash

I too use the tt350, also at 24, (with an equivalent 90mm macro)

But I use manual flash, usually at f8 -f11 and 1/200 (down to 1/60), the 1st shots are usually to help me tune the flash power for the natural lights

Have a look at one of the getting started in macro vids by Micael Widell

perhaps this one
