Macro bee using on board flash

bee using on board flash · **3 Likes**

first time I've tried flash with macro - using on board flash with paper tube (toilet roll) and alfoil attached to direct flash.

Great! It will improve your macro shots a lot!!! You will see....

I'm a big fan of using my on board and stick on flash for macro shots Colin.It's great to shoot around F/16 and have the shots look natural.Keep doing it.--charliezap

Fantastic shot Cee Cee. Well done. Flash really helps with macro shots, and that little Sigma is quite sharp in macro mode.
