Macro Onboard flash

Onboard flash · 10:49 AM

Experimenting with onboard flash and homemade diffuser (just some tracing paper taped over the flash). I think it works just as well as my ring flash and I don't have all that bulk on my lens and hot shoe. These tiny flowers are about the size of a pencil eraser. Used my 50 macro on 48mm of tubes.

Worked really well I think. I use an old plastic film canister with a slit cut into it so it will fit over the flash. Seems to work too. Not that I have used it much.

Well whatever your doing, carry on, because it's working and your getting great images as a result.

Looks like you've this technique down pat. Nice work on all three.

This is very cool process and I want to get some tracing paper to give it a try. The tiny flowers are perfect. Great work!

I like the shimmery look on the petals.
