New to macro - limy! · 09:53 AM

I recently bought a 100mm SMC Pentax-D. Getting used to it still, really enjoying it so far. Took this photo of a lime the other day, with a sigma flash + vello mini softbox. Looking forward to playing around with different lighting options in the future to get better lighting!

That's good lighting, and nice texture and color. It's what macro's all about, revealing things we'd not notice otherwise.

Experiment with the amount of diffusion and the direction of light to get very different effects.

Thanks! When I have some more time I want to play with moving the flash around, I have a PTTL cable so I can start moving the flash around and see what fun I can get up to.
