Thanks much Bob! Was playing with a new soft bonnet attachment for my AF360 flash... I am curious, was the flash obvious before I told you? (on the first shot, not the second, that was just a snap to show the bud)
I haven't shot macro w/flash in a long time, I forgot how handy it can be in the right situations. Even with the soft box, if the surface has any shiny reflective area's, I don't think there is a "soft enough" soft box out there, at least not for macro distances.
There is a dirt cheap LED macro light attachment out there that looks like a pair of My Favorite Martian antennae with small LED disks at the ends you can position because it flexes. It's sold under several generic names, dirt cheap. Everyone who comments on it thinks it will be awful because LED should be pretty weak compared to flash, but I'm tempted to try one to see how it compares to a full on flash with soft box, just for shadow fill duty. I dunno, I like the bonnet so far, it works well in the right situations, but it never hurts to try new stuff.
