Limited (2)
Lens: smc PENTAX-FA Macro 100mm F2.8 Camera: K-5 Photo Location: Moreton Queensland ISO: 200 Shutter Speed: 1/90s Aperture: F11

I reshot the Limited lens with the light tent that I bought from OfficeWorks. This time I removed the bulbs and setup my two flash units either side, I have a 360 and a 540. Worked well and allows shorter shutter speeds if I bring in something live from the garden. The first is straight out of the camera no PP, the second is a boost to the contrast and other small tweaks.

The second one with the bumped contrast looks great! I bought a light cube last winter for something to do during the long winter months - lot's of fun to experiment with different lighting techniques.

That second one is a cracker, Trev. Thanks for trying with the flashes. They work well.

Thanks Stan. We don't have long winter months, but it is raining so it should give me something to do.

Thanks Ray. Yep, I think it will come in handy. I just photographed a ring that I am selling on eBay and the shots look much more professional and well lit.
