Cool pics. is that Irish Moss growing on your LD? be careful when you clean it up to not pull off the wire to the die instead of the fuzz

Thanks for the tip, my main problem is that I do not have a seperate  flash and in macro you get a shadow cast by the lens as you are so close in, I usually go the well lit long exposure route...

not if you use a diffuser. My Sparta laser pics suck but that's because I'm not really interested in getting good pics of it, more interested in building it. Check out my macros here http://www.thejunkmonger.org

my new flash cost me £80 second hand. its top of the range and has a build in diffuser, which is awesome

andy/rog, which camera do you own? those macros are excellent

 

[andy_con]

ive got a nikon 8700 with sb-80dx flash

 

[rog8811]

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-F707 is my main camera but I get better macro shots with my ricoh RDC-i500 as It can get closer due to its compact size.

[nikokapo]

[bobobob121]

[nikokapo]

you got a big-a$$ screen, what are you complaining about?

i got a Fuji A310 (6MP) and all pics turn out VERY noisy...horrible quality

This topic reminded me. The flash on my camera (Panasonic DMC-FZ18) is extremely bright, and it's adjustable to add another 2 EV of brightness on top of that. I tried turning it up to max and taking a picture of myself whilst staring into the flashbulb to see what would happen.

I had a purple blob in the center of my vision for 2 hours.
